one in tnat it reminds every one
that once upon an evening, the
late. great dramatiSt wrote Of
life as if he enjoyed it.
"Ah, WILDERNESS" is not play
for which O'Neill will be remem-
bered. except Sentimentally. 1t
represents no more than an aside
in the twilight of his career. It
is a comedy of adolescence. and
like a great many others it re-
fleets the fact that there is little
new in growing up. Nevertheless.
this is the adoleScent comedy that
bears the stamp of O'Neill, the
sharpness of his observation and
the depth of his pity.
This Is its speciality and the
Arena performance, directed by
Aaron Frankel, catches a deal Of
this distinction.
When he got around to writing
"Ah, Wilderness" in 1888. O'Neill
was not unlike a wizard gambler
playing with marked deck in
a game with amateurs. This was
kind of child's play. a lark. a
long delayed escape from the
remorseless facts Of life. The
most to be made of it was not
lot. but O'Neill made the maxi
mum possible.
Arenas production is not the
lavish, gew-gaw drenched affair
that starred George M. Cohan
when the play was young. 1t
deliberately and sensibly avoids
the calculated clutter that repre-
sentS O'Neill's boyhood life in
Connecticut in 1906. Director
Frankel puts it sQuarely up to
ONeill to tell the story which
the latter does with unabashed
sentimentality, high and low
humor, and candor.
Only once in a while does it
creep into the consciousness Of
Arenas performers that this is
the O'Neill comedy of adoles-
cence.
Frankel. a guest director,
introduces five new performers
to Arenas audiences. All six
have been quick to absorb the
company's happy traditions and
to assure themselves of warm
welcome.
Not quite as new as the newest
comers but extremely valuable
to the production is Gerry Hiken
as young Richard Miller. This
is the reasonable facsimile of
the young O'Neill who grew up
in Stamford. Hiken. in his
third Arena role, makes it evil
dent that this is a hero whose
origin is not commonplace.
The ardors Of Richards ado
lescenue are Superspecial. A
couple of pages of Carlyle's
French revolution leaves his
family looking despicably re-
dictionary. His girl Muriel's in
ability to swallow Swinburne's
recipe of romance is rank cow
ardice. His mothers concern
