Angels Fall
Noisily at
Cross Roads
Minor Coward Pla,
Has Is Amusing
Odd Moments

Out of scanty little idea, Noel
Coward once wrote a slightly anus
ing play called Fallen Angels" AS
minor Coward (sic), it never en-
joyed Broadway production. Amer
lea, therefore, HIS either missed it
entirely or caught it in the summer
theater, where frothy fragments
tinctured with sex catch the public
fancy. Local public fancy waiting
thus to be caught will find Fallen
Angels" for the next fortnight at
the Cross Roads Theater.
Inconsistent though the play may
be with the prevalent mood, Cath
arms Ryan, Elizabeth Winburn
and other members Of the cast
cahnot be accused Of sighting any
of its biological intimatious. They
play it, indeed, with a fury which
at moments approaches incoher-
ence; at others so broadly, that it
constitutes almost a form of crit
icism of towards subtlety. It
must be granted they get their
laughs, along with a number, Of
I 'Coward's.
The theme on which Coward de-
cided to be amusing in Fallen
Angels" is tAat of two chummy
young matrons whose marriages
have taken on the sparkle of tap
water instead of the old champagne.
At that phychologic moment, an
old Common lover of both intimates
ne will join them for dinner, an an
nounSement nicely calculated to set
them off in frenzy of bliss. re-
,membered and anticipated. 1t is
a great day for the girls, and not a
bad one for the audience, especially
in the second act, when they get
tooth and fancy on the inevitable
alcohol while waiting for the old
miracle man to turn up.
Pretty Miss Ryan, who could use
q couple Of doses of Chekov to
quiet her down, makes a merry
thing of her second act binge, but
it might be the merrier for some
contrasting diminuendo passages.
AS the more, but not much more,
cerebral of the frenzied matrons,
Miss Winburn is more quietly ef-
fective. The males in the cast,
Austin Gattis, Sidney Bassler and
Forney Reese, are of minor i'm
portance, entirely fitting In view of
the fact that Fallen Angels" rep
resents ladies' night. j. C.

the paramount issue confronting
the country-national defense. For
the first time the people await a
keynote with eager expectancy. 1t
will reveal the extent to which the
Republicans are ready to scrap par
tisanship, at critical juncture, in
favor of national unity. Will they
rise to the occasion? Or will they,
running true to form, proceed on
the time-honored principle that in
politics, as in love and war, all is
fair and exploit the emergency for
all it's worth? Those are questions
the average American, regardless
of political affiliations, must today
be asking himself with anxiety
bordering upon alarm.
