recting ana Which will be preser
Here 1t is in full quote):
The Passing of the Third Floor
Back" at first appears to be only
a series of drawing room incl
dents held together in continuity
only by the fact that they all occur
in the same drawing room. Unlike
most great dramas, no great eli.
max is reached. No curtain falls
on a scene of suspense or great
emotion. The play seems to travel
simply and quietly on its way until
the final curtain which falls on an
empty stage.
One would be tempted TO ask
is this a play or just series of
tabieaux with quiet conversation
stretched out for a two hour
span. The answer comes only
after study or a witnessing OF
this drama. Here we have mid
die class English boarding house
filled with sundry characters,
none of them too pleasant or adj
mirable. The lodging house keep
er is a sharp tongued, money
pinching shrew. Her maid. the
slavery, is an unregenerate. ill.,
bred little slut. The members of
this undermining menage consist
of a cowardly artist afraid of his
own convictions, scheming
mother and father who wish to
marry off their hussy of daugh-
ter SO that they can be kept in
drink and clothes; swindler of
the oily obseqious type, a painted
middle-aged demi-monde. and a
dowdy dame who fancies herself
an aristrocrat.
Into this sordid group comes
stranger of no apparent age.
character or nationality. He Sc
cures room in the house and
proceeds to transform the house
and all the characters within it.
He INDUCES in no displays or
miracles. He simply talks to each
of the dodgers. Yet each of them
change remarkably and inexor-
ably as if they were drawn to
goodness that they had left be-
hind in the past. The promises OF
the past become the hopes of the
future, and the sordid present is
swept away only by the most
mild of conversations.
WHO is this stranger who can
work such changes? He is neither
tall nor impressive in appearance.
His voice is quiet and restrained.
We are never given anything but
vague clues as to his real identity.
And still, the audience seems to
know him, just as the characters
in the play seem to have remem-
bered him from some other place.
He is timeless as the boatman in
Outward Bound or Death in
Death Takes Holiday, He is
some omnipotent force, but with
out gaudy trappings or stage eff
fectS. There is quiet look and
few soft words 5. and the work
is done. A character has remem-
bered better past and has chang
ed.
This play is the ideal choice for
the Christmas season. 1t has the
effect of making the audience feel
better for having seen it, and yet
this is done without preaching,
pedantics or lurid drama. It is
strange to see an audience respond
to this play. Sometimes, only the
burst of whispers can be heard
from the stage, but the audience is
silent, leaning forward and intent,
trying to catch the least sound. In
the great final scene the stage Is
emptied one by one until only q
dim setting is seen upon which
the curtain closes. Then il is over
and the audience is aware OF q
theater again and the fact that q
great play has been seen.

BENNY'S RESTAURANT
GETS PRINTED BOOST

The October, 1851 Issue OF Re
staurant South. a trade magazine
has an excerpt from an article
printed by the New York World
Telegram and written by a visitor
to Key West last season.
The Telegram story is titled
Tips on Tables and goes on to
say that our own Benny'S Cafeteria
in Key West stretches your Florida
dollar. There is also picture OF
the interior of the restaurant.
The trade magazine comments
that "a plug such as this in one of
the New York papers is certainly
boost in attracting the tourist
trade when a restaurant can make
feature page, its good news and
good business.
Congratulations go to Benny's
in Key West for serving the kind
