enthrall her audience. In both the
writing and the playing of this piece,
Miss Skinner has drawn upon an un-
canny ability for counterpointing trag-
edy with comedy; for calling forth
laughter with hint Of tears beneath
It. Each of the women who mark a step
downward in the career of Tall
Trees" the ancestral estate overlooking
the Hudson, Is imbued with the breath
Of life, and created with an accuracy
that leaves you slightly breathless.
You will feel twinge of sorrow for
Julia ard the romance she lost; you
will laugh at Sally and will be q bit
startled perhaps by the utter realism
OF her last line; your heart will go out
to Carrie when she is about to lose
her home: you will almost roar at the
mere sight Of Mrs. JoJe Kelly and her
well-nigh unbelievable 1927 gown; you
will take an immediate liking to Tonys
wife and will pause to wonder that an
italian bootlegger's spouse is the only
person in the piece with the proper
supply of character, and you will
shrug your shoulders in slight disgust
over the so-called society woman.

THE character and personality of
each Of these women is so clearly
drawn and portrayed so accurately it
is almost as If six different actresses
were playing the roles, yet each has
