The burden of the show lay on
the shoulders of Margaret Darst

Arthur as Claudia Naughton, and
William B. Campbell, Jr., as
David Naughton, and to this trio
must go the principal credit for
the sterling performance of the
evening.
It was noteworthy that in the
matter of diction, which has its
Importance in any play, those
three were absolutely perfect. The
only line that was lost was the
curtain line in the second act,
when prematurely descending
curtain completely cut off what
was undoubtedly a trenchant

was in the hands of Mrs. Howard
