It was a production that pleased old and young, naive or sophisticated, high or low, (as to brows, that is) for everyone seemed to have a good time at the Gralyn Theater that night. Jerry was orig- inally produced by Charles Frohman in the Lyceum Theater, New York, with Billie Burke and an all-star cast. The people concerned were: Joan Doubleday .. Harriet Townsend Jerry .......... Montagu Wade .. Peter Flagg..... Dr. Kirk........ Briggs.......... Lewis .......... ... Marion Davis Rosemary Caswell .... Amy McKee .....John Clark .
