The scene was set in a lrencvolent hug house. All through the play a sulntle comparison was made hetwcen the kindly Nlr. Savage and his sane step-children. Senator Titus is trying to lnuy his way to political fame: Lily Belle is currently rid of her sixth huslmand: and finally. the hlulnlrering idiot step-son. Judge Samuel. is still hoping for a right decision in court. All seem insane in a respectable sort of way. The inmates apparently have found a simple contentment that money canit huy. Hannibal plays his tuneless violin and hears heautiful music. because he wants to hear it. Florence mothers a lifeless doll. John Thomas. and enjoys it as much as any mother enjoys a real child. The plain and unattractive Fairy May pictures herself a elassic heauty and to her admirers in The Cloistersq, she is. Mrs. Paddy has her simple artistic ability and refusal to answer questions and Jeff has his hidden musical talent. This play, written hy John Patrick. is unlike other comedies to the extent that its termination does not eome with the last curtain call. It lives on in the minds and hearts of the audience. This effect is largely due to a heautiful fantasy scene which placed the inmates in the ideal world they had created for themselves-the ideal world that Mr. Savage always wanted to remember. pears happy and content despite what his step- children may think of him. ll ll Take a Bow TAKES TWO TO TANCLE. Valiant xllri Marv S 'Barbara Mongelluzzol halts the aggressive ap- proach of Senator Titus 'Gerald West' and thus protects her husband.
