Clue/Question:  The stage performers often had problems – – –

Answer:  INTERACTING

(Offstage romances aren’t uncommon, but they’re frowned upon, and for good reason.  They can result in stinky puns!  Like this one.  Also, try to stay away from eating onions before romantic scenes.

All of today’s clue words are classics . . . like Romeo and Juliet.  Howev’r, all the jumbles are . . . new . . . as “all the world’s a stage.”  None of them stump’d me though.  The answer letter layout was the most wondrous of jumbles.  Truly cryptic, indeed.

Super balcony scene cartoon.  Great garb, on the actors, and on the stereotypical director!  Love the ascot, the beret, and the little megaphone.  And, let’s not forget the footlights.  Lots of fun.  The Bard would be pleased, methinks.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
