PAGE FOUR. 'Angel Street' (Continued jrom page one) Broadway and Hollywood, but that of a theatre in an academic institution. In view ol this, can Angel Street be lauded a suc cess? Have we the right to say it was well done merely lor the sake <>f five parts well played, and one set well constructed? Could ] even. Bernhardt and Barrymore, he justified? 1 “The powers that choose” wer e niggardly this time; a set that required no changes, and a cast of five is not the kind of productions we should have. The show did go on —and for Ihe handful who worked so dili gently a word of praise and thanks is due. As a memiber of the theatre-going public I appre ciate the pleasant evening they afforded me. - T.aurel For Hank To Henrietta Campitoll a laurel wreath for one of the best per foromances seen in many a month. .As the maddened Mrs. Manning ham she played her part excel lently. With only one octave of emotion to represent her, she man ager to vary the notes she struck so well, that we never tired of tier. iHer voice, her gestures, stage poise, and emotions were all part of -an artistic presentation calling, for extreme finesse to prevent its being overdone and turning into slop.'Miss Campitell kept the bal ance and held the audience in her hand from the moment she tried to sooth her napping husband until she shriekingly turned him over to the police. Baum's Way Martin Baum, as Mr. Manning ham, chose to overplay his part a bit too much, and I fear was quite outaeted by the Mrs. The melodramatic villain stroking small cicles into the velvet col lar of his dressing gown as he drove his wife out of her senses went a bit too far. At times he put terror in the audience, but his role was too long for the cold blooded brutality he g?ve it. The hiss that greeted him when lie reappeared showed that his audience was unconvinced by the performance. The Mr. JVfanning iiam Martin Baum gave us posed no. question to his audience. From the outset, he was a blackguard, and thus a portion of suspense was lost. The cocky little housemaid Nancy was most convincingly characterized by Ruthye Cohen. Her jealousy, contempt, arrogance, and passion were so very well ex pressed that we felt inclined to slap her whenever she appeared. Hough Rough . Walter St. Clair, the hero of the play as Mr. Rough, a Sher lock Holmesish character, gave a passable performance. He stum bled over his lines a noticeable number of times, and made the gross error of obviously going back for them. Although he lacked the conviction of some of the other actors and made us re call that we were watching a play, Slow AT WARNER THEATRES T A and Tails” with Dan Duryea I ' Ella Raines l Wm. Bendix Jf Van Johnson Easy to Wed with Esther Williams Review— he did hold up his part with some semblance of character. Barbara Davis, as Elizabeth, played her stiff and stilted as signment well, putting everything required into it, but by and large that, was no! Too much. Music Adds Overture music before the play and between the acts added im measurably to the dramatic effect created in Schwab Auditorium last weekend.
