"Pygmalion" is the play and its sue
cess lies in the fact that Ann Ives
plays it better than any one else in
town. Her accent is perfect (no one
else tries to have one), her manners
are refreshing, and she plays 1t each
season with just mite more assurance
than she did the season before. The
cast Is also notable for such local troup-
ers as Maud Howell Smith, Murray
Sheehan Che gargled too many syllables
last night, James Otis Porter. Lila
La Garde, Martin Scrannage, Harold
Long and others. The only trouble
with the play is that the Arts Club
stage is too small. No one has ever
fullest without either knocking over a
lamp or a person. Some day some
kind soul will come along and allow
these excellent players to expand prop
erly. The stage is really no stage
at all.
FRED JORDAN bobbed up yesterday
to tell us more about Pola Negri
