executed by Irene Sharaff from the
originals by Tenniel, and the amazing
metn0cs OF makeup 1--WE wonder. 1or
instance, how the Red Chess Queen
keeps on her pointed Chin all combine
to make this a rare and perfect evening
in the theater if you are an Alice fan.
Josephine Hutchinson's performance
as Alice is feat in artistry and eXuber-
ance which will probably never be
matched. Her face, her voice, even her
tears, are 100 per cent the way
you always thought Alice should be,
and the fact that she is on the stage
every minute OF the time and never
offends either by word or by gesture,
is something very much in her favor
Miss lie Gallenne appears only
briefly alighting suddenly out of the air
as remarkably agile White Chess
Queen. Her flying around the stage is
one of the highmarks of the production
matching that Walrus and Carpenter
(done by marionettes) when
the oysters do their sad little dance.
There is too much that is good in
this to warrant mention of it all.
Likewise, the players are too numerous
and too expert to do much picking or
choosing Local interest, however,
should center on William S. Phillips,
who plays the role originally intrusted
to Joseph Schildkraut-the Queen of
Hearts-on Ted Tenley, who is a
and mouse-colored dormouse,
and on Leona Roberts who, together
with Miss LIE Gallienne and Miss Hutch
iron, makes that scene of the three
queens in the last act one of the most
important and likeable features.
Other hignspots-and the play is
alive with them-include Howard da

ley's Caterpillar. Charles Ellis singing

Washington's first glimpse Of this
Eva LIE Gallienne-F Florida rTiebus adap-
tation CT the worlo-famous Lewis Car
roll classic at the National last night
was an suspicious occasion. A huge
audience, led by Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who was warmly applauded
es she appeared in the presidential
box, gave Alice" a rousing hand. From
the very first moment, in which Alice
and the kitten have their siesta N that
giant red chair, up until the last when
the kitten and Alice are there all over
again, the Wonderland" and Look
ing Glass" events were bright and
amusing
We would like to sidestcp the verbal
part of the production a minute to
congratulate the sponsors on their
choice of music. Richard Addinsell has
written a score which is lively, modern
and exceedingly tuneful 1t suggests
either Gershwln or Coward and, believe
it or not, goes along gl.bly and attrac-
lively every foot of the way. Even when
the White Knights horse becomes
slightly jazz struck and begins to jiggle
up and down on its four Ieet, you are
not conscious that he is doing anything
except what the author might have
intended him to do-and, OF course,
the music to Beautiful Soup as sung
with extreme sensitiveness by the Mock
Turtle Uester Scharff) is something to
remember
This music, which starts with song
specially written for Alice" with words
by Mir. Carroll, keeps the production
moving alcng at lively tempo. due to
the dances. atmospheric chantings and
that red-hot cornet which blares forth
every few minutes or so. Those who
are of the opinion that it is very gentle,
lavender Lace music will find themselves
very much mistaken. 1t is as near jazz
as Alice" could eve-. be, without sug-
costing anything cheap or tawdry. 1t
is first-rate modern music, and it tickles
your spine most cheerfully.
