Mama has faith In motherhood.
and 1t never lets her down, or any
member Of her loyal brood.
Next to its maternal heroine, Il
Remember Mama" comes up with
its best character in the person of
bombastic, profane, terrifying Uncle
Chris. This is a very funny man
who carries a flask, has a pretty
red-haired housekeeper, and teaches
children that profanity is a fine
opiate for persistent pain. But
underneath this unattractive ex-
terror, mama at least knows there
is q great and good heart. She in
terprets him for some of the plays
best moments.
There are poignant passages to
provide contrast with the hilarious
ones Of II Remember Mama" and
while some Of them are excellent
they have the effect Of pulling the
play to its lowest, slowest points In
the second act. But, by the time
Katrin has sold her first story and
mama really does have money for
her bank account, the evening ends
perfectly.

1t is pretty much mama's, and
