wholesome as "Rebecca of SunnyorooS

A great deal can be said of the entire
cast, for in this play the characters run
true to type.
The stage settings and scenery are
faithful reproductions of those USED IN
the original play, and the detail WORKED
out in support of the story would do cred
it to a big production.
Meyer Kaufman. who plays opposite
Miss Park, was splendid as the waiting
sutton, while Myrtle Bigden and Rosa
