 The action of last nights play may have been somewhat confusing and somewhat dated, but satire sometimes ripens with age, and the fate of MT. Zero, played excellent ly by Daniel Marshall, was followed with keen interest by the entire au- dience.
 Directed By Gordon Giffen
 The play, deals with an unfor- tunate bookkeeper who rises up in wrath when his boss informs him he is to be fired after 25 years of work with the company and murders him. His arrest, trial and his stay in the beyond. most peculiar place as presented by MT. Rice, are then enacted with frequently inter- spersed blackouts, all performed against a modernistic and somber background.
 The part of MT. Zero, who appears at length in each of the seven scenes, was handled almost to per- lection by MT. Marshall, ably as- sisted in different scenes by Adele Jenks, Charles Leader, Edith John son, Franklin Warren, Irene Daly and the rest of the cast.
 The cast was well balanced and for first night performance that went of without any noticeable "hitches", those unseen movers about-of-scenery, directed by stage managers Michael Gallulo and Frank Phelan, deserve a great deal of credit.
 This is the last play of the sea- son aEd will be presented for two more nights.
