ried couple, but they maintain one of those truces that permits mar riage to run into years while its neighbor brings home pretty young wife who is a concert pianist, someone in the community sends her flowers and the word gets around that the newcomer has a secret admirer. Mrs. Sykes intuition tells her 1t is her quiet, long -stuffer- | ing husband, but she lets a dip- somaniac friend believe that she thinks 1t is the latter's husband. Actually. the secret admirer Is Mrs. Sykes married son, but so sure is she of her powers of intui- ton that when she is told this she simply believes that the son is covering Up for the father and nothing will change her mind.
 There are a number of smart lines and keen observations Of hu- man nature, male as well as female. scattered through the three acts. There are good performances, too, by Catherine Willard as Mrs Sykes. Neil Hamilton as the husband. Jean Dixon as the dipso. Margaret Ban nermen as a crony of the various women involved, and Romney Brent in role scarcely worthy of his mettle.
 Kelly directed and in this, as in his writing, he seemed to be con- cerned more with stylization than with entertainment reality. Stanley Gilkey and Barbara Payne produced the play and hired Eleanor Far rington to create two handsome set- | tings.
 "The Deep Mrs. Sykes" in short. is not for those seekig only pleasure. Those genuinely interestel in the theater and its better craftsmen, of course, will want to see 1t regard less of its drawbacks.
 KISS THEM FOR ME" is an- other in the long list of failing at tempts to write good war play. The author is Luther Davis and the drama is based on the novel, Shore Leavc.' by Fredric Wake man, which created something of a stir about year ago.
 The book has undergone some changes, especially in the matter of cleaning up the story c little. But primarily 1t Is still the tale of three hot-shot Navy fiiers in Frisco for four-day binge in an effort to forget the war momentarily. They get the best suite at the leading hotel and prepare to do nothing but drink and entertain any women they can trap by false offers of nylons.
 This ideal vacation fails to pan out because they get mixed up right away with a big industrialist, who tries to get them to make morale speeches in his shipyards. Then the paper Navy" gets after them to i'll out forms and they get tangued up in other red tape, with the re- suit that the tflrst thing they know they are in a naval hospital for physical checkups. One of them is found to be fit only for a medical discharge and second, the ace
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-04


 Kelly is such a fine craftsman and has such keen insight into human nature that it seems a shame to say of this play that 1t doesn't come off, thus placing it in the same category with lot of inept little offerings by people you have never heard of which clutter up every theatrical season. The trouble with "The Deep Mrs. Sykes" so far as am concerned is that 1t lacks heart"
 By that I do not mean sentiment or sweetness and light. It is simply short on feeling of any kind-it doesn't make you care one way or the other. If he could have made things seem to matter sufficiently so you could really loathe the woman of the title, things would have been different. Some will condemn the play because 1t is full of unpleasant people. That's bad argument. Char actors can be as unpleasant as their creator chooses to make them. But must not be negative.
 "The Deep Mrs. Sykes" is a study of a woman who feels that her intuition is infallable. MT. and Mrs. Sykes are not happily mar

of the group is, discovered to be good only for shore duty.
 This breaks the hearts of all concerned because they are wrapped up in the Navy and feel they would have no place in civilian life. How ever, with the aid of couple of of the girls they manage to unravel the red tape at the last minute and flee back to the Pacific by plane, where they can be swallowed up in combat while the paper Navy" frets ineffectively about their breaches of regulations.
 Davis play starts rather promis- ingly, but before the first act is over it seems obvious that it isn't going anywhere. He couldn't make up his mind whether he was writing a comedy or treating with serious subject in adult manner. He stands off and spars with the service man vs. civilian problem from time to
