to give the poetic touch to his work.
Both parts required subtlety, grace
and delicacy of handling, and they
were played with authority. Miss
Ann Ives. who has been generous in
giving of her remarkable talent as
an actress since she came to live in
Washington, often has demonstrated
that she has great versatility, but as
Queen Elizabeth she proved anew
how resourceful she is in her art and
how capable of rising to the best pos
sibilities that any part offers.
Last. but no means least, there was
Bertram Bloch who contributed much

Not only did Jimmie" Reynolds

sense. but, although there was
seamstress in the house to do the ac-

himself, cutting them out and direct
