Tobacco Road
At BeIosco.

Never having seen either the
Henry Hull or the James Barton
portrayal of Jeeter Lester in the
Jack Kirkland play, Tobacco
Road" 1 have no standards for
comparison while witnessing Mr..
Taylor Holmes delineation in this
current engagement of the tried
and not found wanting hit.
AS you probably know, Tobacco
Road" is not a particularly pleas
ant sort of play. Still, it offers a
splendid study of the tragic and
Squalid futility found among the
poor white trash of the South. In
this instance it is the State OF
Georgia. Both the authors pen and
the scene designers art have
caught the stark drabnesS Of a
situation which is at all times har'
rowing.
Jeeter Lester is the perfect part
for a character playing actor. This
lazy, shiftless old reprobate is un-
doubtedly a vivid piece of work
on the part of Mr.. Holmes. En-
ploying every trick in the trade to
project his part across the foot
lights, the star does the plays best
acting. 1t would have been a very
simple matter to descend to the
state of heavy oVeracting, but this
Holmes avoids from his very first
profanity to the belch in the third
act.

ance. This is hard role in that
it leaves nothing but a feeling OF
bitterness. Not so good was Winnie
Phillips as the prayer-saying Sister
Bessie. Unable to grasp at the
fundamental characteristics of the
part, Miss Phillips seemed content
at OVERRIDING it. Pitt Herbert,
Merryl Boyden and William Bishop
make fair bid at measuring up.
However, on the whole the cast
appears to be 1aboring under ar
imaginary idea that at this time
they must put over the play for
good and ever. In short, in thei1
eagerness to impress with the
grimness of it all. there are Ions
periods of too heavy melodra
maticS.
Accounting for the phenomena,
success of Tobacco Road" is in
deed one of the many mysteries O.
the theatrical world. There Is
right now a company playing the
show on Broadway, where it ha
been for the past four years, ant
any number of road offerings are
scattered all over. Apparently
merit is to be found therein.

"Soton's in the Pantry" Proves
A Lough-Looded Comedy

Watch this young Theodore Til.
Ter, I'd. The 23-year-old Washing
ton playwright is riding smoothly
along the road that leads to sue
cess.
I thought so when I saw his
first one-act novelty, "a Trio of
TriangleS" a few seasons ago and
now the fledgling in his first full
length play, "Satan's In the Pan
try" more than justifies earlier
promise.
Last, night in the King-Smith
studio 'bandbox theater they gave
the first performance of the farce
comedy, with a mixture of anna
teur and semiprofessional actors
in the cast, rolled up q flood Of
laughs.
"Satan's In the Pantry" is in
the Rimplegar mood. It tells Of
an average American family and
how its routine was upset when
two Dubuque relatives moved in
for visit and parked for the sum-
mer.
Playwright Tiller has a flair for
brisk dialogue and not a little
talent at creating situation humor.
1t is broad comedy that he deals
with, sometimes verges over into
burlesque, but it is directed at
lively pace and the cast did ex
ceptionally well by the young
author.
Perhaps the best Of the
theSpians was Arthur Rhodes, a
skilled trouper who plays with the
applied reticence that comes with
experience on the professional
stage. His Mr.. Spippin was a
gem, did more than any other role
in accentuating the contrast in
characters.
Ann Garrett. who stepped into
the role of Mrs. Spippin at short
notice, gave a smooth performance,
and Ann Ives as the fantastic serv'
ant girl, Esme, realized much OF
it's humorous possibilities.
