Her story "The Woman of Bronze" which Mar garet Anglin brings to the Jeffer- son Friday and Saturday nights, with special matinee Saturday.
 "vivian" is 8 woman who loves with her whole being; it is a pri- meyal love, rooted in the inmostt ten- drills of mind and senses and she strives by means of this love to fight off the dangers lurking in her path. Her story, as only Margaret Anglin can tell it, strikes tone that is deep and reverberating. Some moments are vivid with dramatic dis closures, some with poignant tender ness and grace and all with funda- mental appealing womanliness, per suasive and very beautiful. Miss Anglin's supporting company is an adequate one. She brings with her the entire New York production di- rect from a year on Broadway.
