A Beautiful Fantasy.

A beautiful fantasy, presented with
consummate art. was the verdict of
everyone who saw "The Road to Yes
Ierday'' at the BelascO last week. The
play has all the elements of wholesome
entertainment and at the same time its
delightful satire and sparkling repartee
serve to stimulate the intellect and
make the performance something more
than mere time-kiIler.
The whimsical queries and mild aston
ishment Of Elspeth when she finds that
all things are not just as they have
been painted, have a universal human
appeal, although the theme is disguised
IN the narration Of a charming fairy
tale. Miss Minnie DUpree gave an in
depreciation OF the role which was truly
delightful Her quaintness and wistfuI
expression produced an impression that
viii always be recalled with genuine
pleasure.
The Road 20 Yesterday" has a dra-
matte structure similar in many re-
spects to Barrie's Peter Pan though
the plot - not OF such gossamer tex
Eure. No one could miss the delightful
spirit Of The Road TO Yesterday" On
the other hand It has been demonstrated
that there are persons who fail TO de-
rive that exquisite pleasure which most
people find in the Barrie fantasy.
