The part of Paris called "Chail¬ lot" rc^mbles nothing that one reads about In the guide books about the wonder of the French capital.
It l8 pbpulated by characters who ficetn to have more than three dimensions. The quality of mystic unreality about them is often charming and somettmes nightmarish, and the situation frequently hilarious.
To bring such shadowy marion¬ ettes to life is difficult for ex¬ perienced actors, more so for adult amateurs, but doubly so for teen-agers.
Leading characters In the play are portrayed by the following: The Countess (Madwoman), by Lynn Baraah, aged i^p. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. WM. J. Baraah, 1046 Geers Ave.

Bernle Bornsteln, 15, son of Mr, and Mrs. Phil Bornsteln, 200 S. Harding,   la the president.
The three other madwomen are: Constance, by Karel Kreisel¬ man, 12, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Kreiselman, 3 9 4 N. Roosevelt; Gabrlelle. by Judy Sterling, 15, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Sterling; Josephine. by Linda. Yenkin, 16. daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Abe Yenkin. ,
The waitress la by Joyce Bach- mann, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Bachmann; Pierre, her lover, by Steve Gallen. 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Gal¬ len; the prospector, by Jay Rlpps, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Rippa.
Others in the cast include Evan Kress, 17, aa the broker I Jim Klasg, 16, the sewer man; Bens- ti GeJln, 15. the waiter; Judy Slef   i,
14, the street atrvjer;-Andrea G - enstein, 12, the flower girl; R •- ert  Berman  13,  the  "little  man."
