BY JOHN ANDERSON
IntI New. ssrvie. Dramatic Eaitss

NEW YORK, March 6.
As IN Queen Victoria, Helen
n Hayes has found in Harriet
Beecher Stowe a character with
the dimensions and mystery OF
dramatic fascination, a char
acter vaguely known TO every
one who knows anything. but
actually not known at all.
In this, l suspect, we find the.
main dramatic interest of the
new play about the author OF
Uncle Toms Cabin" the play
by Florence Ryerson and Colin
Clements which Gilbert Miller
brought last week to the Henry
Miller Theater.
For the authors have plainly
made no effort to set down any
thing more than a biographical
sketch. but the subject herself
is so interesting that the work
takes on the color and proper
ton. and even the dramatic
values of momentous events.
