If this critique lacks evidence of
much torn hair and searing blasts of
tears, it is because after Hope Wil
liams and Ann Harding in "Holiday"
we're wrung bloodless on the piece in
all of its manifestations. Cool analy
sis is about the only thing there's left
to us on the play. Here's same•
Now it's certain that the play en
tertained most of those who attended.
In fact we spent a lot of the tune
watching people around us laugh It
kept us busy.
This play always seems to affect
audiences in two ways; they want to
say silly things and do courageous
ones. And another thing, the light
plot seems to peter out after the sec
ond act and leaves the author with
the slimly problem of filling the third
act full of anti-climax and dialog
This for Philip Barry to peeve hon.
Woe, avoe, we thought when we
heard that Mr. Neusbaum had cast
that handsome amazon, B Vincent,
as the whimsical Linda and meek
Peter M. as vigorous Johnny Case
It wasn't right, but by dint of hard
work and some close directorial sug
gestion, both parties were pounded
into shape so well that We were
astonished. Vincent labored well and
gallantly to create a distinct true
character. Meek handled unnatural
gestures poorly
Lilhe Kell did so smaitly as Laura,
Bob Ayers swayed so nicely as Ned, .1
Norris wisecracked so naturally as
Nick, Theresa Baer played so lightly
as Susan, and It Kearton walked so
heavily as E Seton, that then• cast
ing was unassailable and their acting
not short of excellent. Miss Kell
contributed what was perhaps the
neatest bit of acting of the evening.
Considerable finesse, which could
be attributed only to the director, ap
peared in the details of the play and
an unembarrassed pause for laughs,
included a much-improved articulation
by which all speeches could be heard,
and as fine a pair of sets as we have
seen here lately The picture of

Two genuine carpings. The or
cliestNi was off-tone many times and
we can't forghe that, the group scenes
in the play lost some effectiveness
because the diameters supporting the
speaker did not play to him.
