 "Prunella, or Love in a Dutch Gar den" which is the opening attraction at Winthrop Ames' Little Theater'' is described by the critics as an ex quisite fantasy of rhapsodic love, Q beautiful thing beautifully done. It ia not new for it was written by Laurence Housman and Granville Barker nearly ten years ago. The characters may give little insight as to the character of this idyI.

 When the windows were fast, At night while the householders doz-
 Love entered at last
 Eventually ''Prunella" in her bal let skirt and with roses in her hair is carried off by PierrOt who gathers
