lowing among certain groups OF
sensation seekers, but they are
soon forgotten and disappear
from the theater.
The true success of play does
not depend upon the critics or
audiences in the metropolitan
centers, but upon the judgment
of theatergoers in the smaller
cities and towns in every section
of the United States. They are
fine playgoers who have oppor-
tl1nitiHs of seeing only a very
small percentage Of the dramas
that are presented. and despite
the prevalent opinion OF many
nearsighted, producers are dis
terminating in their selection.

had been a part in Dick Barthel-

played the lead in lesser known

Her achievements in the past,
however, are the least of Mary's
