Col. Sloan, Il played polo with

him, as a matter of fact. He was

lieutenant with only one polo
pony to my name. But Patton,
who was popular with every one
on the post, liked to, win, so he
loaned us ponies when ours tired
and when we won he threw
party for us at the officers club.
So I know something about
horses"
It's a long way from polo in
Hawaii to a desk job at the
skeet association.
And a long story, too," put
in the Colonel, who indicated
he'd much rather skip it and
talk about the rapidly growing
popularity of the gun game. But
John A. LAHORE, jr., of Philadel-
phia, a member of the associa-

an ardent gunner, picked up his
ears at the mention of hunting.

Like these all-star companies
which have been wantonly enjoy
ing Wilde revivals the past few
seasons, Catholic us actors enter
into the spirit of Gilbert's comedy
with abandon. They are confronted
by a comedy that demands ex-
aggeration. This, Of course, Is the
happiest predicament in which any
group of actors ever finds itself. Di-
rector Joan O'Byrnes cast commu-
nicates the happiness of 1T.
1t rolls the playwrights's sardonic
commentary with vocal hourishes
that are amusingly outrageous. The
reprehensible notion that one of the
authors points might be missed is
eliminated with underscorings that
are one of the productions delights.
Movements and gestures are at their
best when they are most fiorid.
This was when the drama had

undertakes it is likely to look quite

play is not a sustained scream, it
hits memorable moments of mirth,
