erations Of this theme, it is agree
able to be led back to funda-
ImentalS.
Vaughan, whose literary career
lis viewed by some as a grudge
fight with the female sex, makes
Ia fragrant exception of the Con-
stance Middleton played by Miss
Cornell.
If he had to create her himself.
which is possible, he did a super
lative job. She is not merely a
wise woman but also a bright one.
She has both a sharp sense of the
facts of life and a trick of COM
menting on them that recognizes
a woman's obligation to be anus
ing. She can handle not only a
wayward husband. but an ener-
getic suitor of her own. And, as
for the females around her, she
disposes easily of the other wom-
an, a poisonous younger sister,
and a mother who is a disciple of
acquiesence.
In THE Constant Wife," this is
accomplished mostly through
sheer conversation. 1t differs from
most conversation, however, in
that it was written by Vaughan
and spoken by Miss Cornell. It
is seldom that magicians come in
such dramatically matched pairs.
X X X
AS is her generous custom, and
one of the finer marks of her dis
tinction, Miss Cornell has sur
rounded herself with an excellent
acting company.
She has placed virtually every
body in her debt by inducing Miss
Grace George to play the mother
role in THE Constant Wife" Miss
George is superlative in her forth
right judgment of the husbands S
conduct as naughty" and in ev-
cry other aspect of the appeasing
widow role.
Aherne is a vigorously expostu-
lating sinner of a husband; John
Emery is an altogether suitable
representation of the patient. one
woman man; Nan Martin is
temptingly pretty as the other
woman; and Gertrude Musgrove
is effective as the acidulous
younger sister of Maugham's vari-
alton of Candida.
Donald Oenslager created an
enviable living room for the Mid
dletons and their sometimes too
intimate friends. A bow is due
also to whoever created the cos
tunes for THE Constant Wife"
Evening star., 1952-04-29

Miss Cornell, a truant around
here for half a dozen years, is
back in Somerset Maugham's S
THE Constant Wife" She and
a theater virtually full of the
faithful enjoyed themselves i'm
meaSurably at last nights first
performance. There is every in
dication that this state of affairs
will prevail through Saturday
night.
The Vaughan play is the one
that has just given Miss Cornell
her happiest Broadway season in
years. 1t also is the comedy she
will take across America next
season, a voyage that should be
bon for every one.
** **
If there was no new play for
Miss Cornell this year-and there
was none-she has shown charac-
teristically excellent taste in
choosing this one for revival.
The truth that Vaughan faced
in writing THE Constant Wife" is
that love and marriage really do
not change much. Husbands con-
tinue to be wayward and wives are
expected to be wise and forgiving.
The man who writes a good play
about their relations in one dec
ade is apt to find himself collect
ing royalties on it again any dec
ade later.
This is especially true when an
actress of Miss Cornell's easy
grace and beauty decides to give
the play another whirl.
x 4 x X
In Constance Middleton, she i'm
personates the woman all women
could wish to be and all men could
wish they had married. This is
quite a creature, as creatures go,
and the virtues she displays areI
endlessly enchanting and amusing
to the less gifted.
Mrs. Middleton's problem, hand
somely wrapped in the person of
Brian Aherne, is the philandering
husband. Her surgeon husband
has chosen to misbehave with, of
all possible females. his wife's best
friend. On a cruder social level,
this could lead to violence but not
with Miss Cornell as heroine and
Vaughan as author. They choose
instead to philosophize amusingly
upon the situation. They examine
it in terms that any one could
envy and virtually everybody can
enjoy.
There is nothing sordidly psy-
chologic in their treatment of the
subject. This is just good healthy
misconduct and there is no dispo-
sition on their part to pretend it
stems from an inhibited childhood
or mental maladjustment. The
fact is that the sinners in "TheI
Constant Wife" were bored with
their mates and acted on the
simpla impulse that they needed a
change.
