by Carol Goodner, who is superb.
She has some OF the latest lines

draws an acting plum as the
playwright. especially in the third
act where the dialogue rather
takes a Noel Coward turn for

Ann Burr is excellent as the
girl, but despite the part, rather
than because Of il. for she has

EXCEPTIONAL WIFE

For her central character she
has chosen a wife, a rather oN-
ceptional one. who, y years after
a haSty marriage, IS doing every
thing but repent, IN most luXurl-
Gus leisure.
But the calm Of her Regency
Park drawing room is shattered
by the entrance Of a girl, Secre-
tary Of friend. who Immediately
attracts her faithful husband.
He's been faithful for the IL
years since their first meeting, is
a devoted father and fine chap
as husbands so.
OFF HE GOES
Well. as husbands 60, he goes
after the secretary. Being an
English barrister. it's no cheap
affair, however He is attracted
by her honesty and her mind, so
we are given 10 understand, al
though It's pretty obvious that
she is a hard and brittle little
witch.
When she insists that she will
have nothing 10 do with him un-
less he divorces his wife and
marries her, we know she knows
all the answers. The only thing
naive about her is the husband,
who agrees 10 her suggestion.
OF course. the knowledge comes
as a shock 10 the wife and finally,
after a period of adjustment, she
does the noble thing and offers to
let him 90.
But after we get all that set
tied and are about 10 let her take
up a career and marry novelist,
the husband comes back and says
il was all mistake.
TINE GOES BY
Twelve years later. in an cpl
logue, we find them sort of
chuckling over the whole affair
and saving Weren't We silly way
back there in 1902" And there
were a couple of moments when
we were inclined TO agree with
them.
But enough about the play
the performances are really the
thing. The cast is an incredibly
splendid one and Miss Cornell
gives a perfectly exquisite per-
Torrance. In fact. it's her por-
trayal which gives credence TO
the whole affair.
Never has she looked lovelier.
In the 1918 prologue, she actually
creates the illusion of a very
young girl and, during the major
portion of the play, she presents
US with a portrait of one OF the
most stunning young matrons
