Although a British comedy is usually slow for a U. S. audience, this was the type play that is al ways close to the heart of the Ame'rican theatre-goer-the warm family-centered comedy. The Play ers are to be congratulated in choosing such a sure-hit. Instead of the usual drag with which many plays open, this one at once put the audience in good humor with a sniffling maid play ed in beautiful restraint by Joyce Shealy, a newcomer to the group. It quickly developed that. this was a play of personalities, and the audience found itself *easily falling in love with some of the mad-cap characters who would dash in and out. Congratulations to tha director for such shrewd casting; it couldn't have been bet ter. Robert Goss, who played Mal colm, the lovable faintly-befuddled father, must have gotten closest to the affections of the audience; almost every time he opened his mouth he got a laugh. His aim less wandering in and out, and his continual lag of about 20 lines be hind the conversation of the rest of the family was a warm contrast to the fluttering . slightly-hysterical mother who was about 20 grass hopper jumps in front of the family but in the wrong direotion. It was easy to see that Jody Hane who played this part is well experi enced on the stage. "Jap" Johns, who played Dud ley, England's pocket edition of Henry Aldrich, was a little too unihibited at first, but soon re MORRIS much a smoke I fers the smoker an ga . ather cigarette.

Most beautiful job of this was the point when Alice, the mother learned of Claude's en gagement to the maid, and began 1 her hysterics in the back of the stage while Dud sat -at the front screwing up his face and stealing the entire scenQ. Whore did Mort Bernanke pic'k up his English accent? Perhaps a little too thick in contrast to the others, it still went well with his smooth interpretation of the stuffy older brother Claude. He should be t seen more often in the produc tions. Dotsy Lloyd, a familiar face with Players, carried her part off with much gusto, and probably had the best laugh of the evening with one of her lines-in fact it literally stopped the play. Those on the stage must have thought the audience never would stop laughing at her remark about try ing to "make" the boy for a week, make him propose, that is. One stinkweed bouquet to the Players for keeping such a natural actor as Bill Robb in the back ground up to now. The minute he walked on the stage, the audience felt the ease and naturalness with which he played the part of the boy friend. Let's hope we see him more often. The only bad criticism we have to make is the uneveness of the make-up. Some faces were far too pale for bright stage lights. One big bouquet to the entire cast together for the enthusiasm with which they dived into their parts, so that audience couldn't help but respond, and the unama teurish ease with which the entire production went off.
