Occasionally, a lovely moment resonates. The King's wish: ''To be able to love with courtesy.'' The prizefighter's prayer: ''Help me to win without killing my opponent.''But the show-stealer is the actor you don't see -- Anthony Stropoli. He's inside Gorky's skin. Gorky is the bear, very animated.
The director, Pamela Moller Kareman, searches for ways Saroyan's platitudes can fly on wings of poetry, but in the end, a dead bird is a dead bird. This one never even had wings.

''The Cave Dwellers'' by William Saroyan. The Schoolhouse Theater, 3 Owens Road, Croton Falls. Performances through May 12. Box office: (914) 277-8477.
