a lot of students disappearing
down from the steps at the enc
of each act. I don't know where
they came from, perhaps from
classrooms in the building OF
maybe from the play itself From
one place or another, however
they left and it reminded me OF
old times when adults would storm
out of the theater wondering what
kind of mind could have written
1.-THE Skin of Our Teeth"
You, no doubt, remember this
too, but hope you also remember
that I was one of the original en-
thusiasts for the play.
I still am and, to prove it, ]
stayed again for the full three
acts.
1t was dramatic, too, but, not
precisely as you intended "The
Skin of Our Teeth" to be. What
mean is, there was something
spirited in the University Players
wrestle with your work. In spirit,
at least, they went along with
your imaginative adventure of
scrambling the ice age with the
1ce-cube age and of trying to con-
dense the experience of the eter-
nal human family into the current
family of George Antrobus of Ex-
celsior. N. j.
Naturally. this is of a
thing to tackle. especially when
you are not Thornton Wilder. Tai
lulah Bankhead, or Ella Kazan
who directed the original produc-
ton.
You three were not there, so
the university kids acted your
crazy play in their own crazy way
which made it something fright
eningly, yet dramatically strange.
remember what a terrible time
you had after Tallulah left the
play and how futile it proved try
ing to carry on with Miriam Hop
kins and Gladys George. What
kept bringing this to mind was
the girl playing Sabina in this
production. Her name is Davie
Rogers and no one can ever say
she did not try to be the eternal
other woman you made Sabina
as contrast for the eternal wife
mother represented by Mrs. An
trobus. Frankly, Tallulah's Sa-
bina kept obscuring my vision of
Miss Rogers version but I came
away realizing the latter is at
least younger (but don't tell Tai
lulah). If one is to be the ever
lasting other woman, it is wonder
full to start young and look like
Miss Rogers.
Outside of Miss Rogers, to tell
you the truth. I have to look at
the program to tell you the names
of the others playing your char
acters. The better ones were Will

the roles are better, as they are.
