Little is known of cyanide OF

of the atrocities perpetrated by

William Faversham has won
his way to sure and gratifying
success in Edward Knoblauch' s
brilliant comedy, "The Faun,"
which he will present at the Ia
coma next Tuesday and Wednes-

Although a "Faun" may be a
mythical character concerning
whom information is to be found

comedy the "Faun" is very
real, lively and mirth-provoking
