her tale of woe.
Miss Crawford -shFewdiy does
not play on the sympathy OF her
audience. There are no highly
strung histrionicS. but rather a
straightforward portrayal OF a
desperate woman, which we think
is truly great.
Also the producers have been
wise in surrounding their reSur-
rected star with practically a new
company. Little Ann Blyth's per-
formance as the daughter may be
a little too patent, but it's good
and Zachary Scott is excellent as
