 No. that does not suffice. One must dig down for superlatives- or, let us say, resurrect ones rhet- oric, refurbish it and pilfer some vivid, impelling verbs expressive of "esthetics" without the tedium of definition in it's relation to form.
 For form in it's highest sense, ran riot at the Liberty Theatre last night when an all-star cast dished up feast in the form of"The Out east" an exquisite Serio-comic col lation in three acts any one ot which was lavish value for the ad- mission fee.
 AS promised in advance criticisms the audience which filled the Lib erty to overflowing was given rare treat. They were not niggard in attesting this fact by liberal ap- plause and what every actor loves most: psychic atmosphere.
 This was in evidence a few mo- ments after the curtain rose on the first act and continued without re- taxation until the last thrilling cli- max.
 The very structure of ''The Out cast" permits of wide latitude of interpretation and interjection of personality, something again which invokes the highest degree of art istic talent which imparts to the character being portrayed some thing more than the mere efflgy of imaginative personality clothing it in the habilaments of reality.
 This delft artistry was impartial in it's general distribution, so much so in fact that it was not difficult to lose consciousness of that intl- macy so often accompanying anna teurS when laboring to translate themselves from what they are into ChOCAS bOAlISO'

 Standing like a gladiator deliv- ering thrust and parry in a battle for the laurel wreath of victory was Delbert Hayes, whose work was of the kind one expects to see and views without disappointment.
 Challenging even the honors of these was Sidney Uric in the role of the butler, who with Delbert Hayes as the younger and more human member of an ariSto- cratic family, injected wholesome and engaging comedy beginning in nipples to dash like a wave over the audience.
 Nothing was left to be desired in stage personality, costuming and stage atmosphere which latter be- spoke oblivion to all surroundings save the art involved
 As Douglas Hamilton, author and feminine analyst, Leonard Hop kins inparted to his role a finish bespeaking painstaking care in de- clamation and stage presence, serv- ing as pivotal point around which was built up structure notable for the ingeniousness of it's architec- ture and completeness.
 Earle Sweek as Bishop Wade might have stepped from any one of a number of vestrieS after cast ing aside the surpliced habilaments essential to a christening, dove tailing into the general scheme with consummate skill.
 Here is a delicate one to juggle with and one which cautions pause: Dorothy Hill as Janet Harden, a spinster, was plucked from a New England tea table where they wear knitted shaWls and discuss family (Please turn to page four) - - A
