her expert sense Of comedy serves
them beautifully.
A Worthy Cast
Little Helen Chandler, whose
ingenue charm and elfin appeal
fit perfectly the role of the shy
and loveable Jane, probably has
the most difficult task Of the en-
tire play. For she must always
look wistful and sweet while
others do the talking, adding her
part to the virility Of the scene by
mere gesture and expression. To
be sure her big moments are well
realized but may I suggest that
in the necessary Tightening after
a first performance, Jane be
given a bit more to say. For while
we admire her modeSty and in
nocence, and her coy pleasure
over a first kiss, there are times,
especially in the third act, when
Jane seems a little dumb, special
ly after landing her Romeo.
Time and space limit the ap-
probation due to the remainder
Of the cast. There was Alma
Kruger's sterling performance Of
Lady Catherine. which might
readily have been burlesque but
which she kept faithfully within
legitimate bounds; Joan Tomp-
kins, as Lydia; Colin Keith-John-
sons restrained and sharply
ethched portrait Of snobbery and
a noble heart; Nancy Hamilton's
acid character of Miss Bingley;
John Halloran as the fluctuating

Women, I think, will take
''Pride and Prejudice" straight to
their hearts. It gives them Jane
Austen's matchmaking mother,
Mrs. Bennett, and her three well
bred and desirable daughters, and
before it drops the curtain sees
that they are all safely secured
In the bonds Of holy matrimony.
There is a fascination in watching
this fluttering, and sometimes
beWildered mother, guiding, and
occasionally pushing, her beloved
offspring into a bed of orange
blossoms.
About it all clings the odor of
lavender and old lace and an
eighteenth century old-faShioned
leiSureliness that in its first act,
at least, must compensate for an
absence Of dramatic movement.
