Touch And Co." at the Mac
Arthur theater. is another Of
those British comedies which at
test the faith of its makers that
good acting can redeem a tired
script.
That this theory has much to
recommend it is clear in the
performances of Jack Hawkins,
Margaret johnson and others Of
the cast. The cheerfulness they
shower upon this domestic trifle
is contagious enough to make it
quite a reasonable way to spend
an hour and a half.
This Touch And Go" has no
relationship to the one Walter
and Jean Kerr wrote at Catholic
university for Broadway several
years ago. It deals instead with
the dilemma of an attractive
London family whose hot tenn
pered head Of the house suddenly
decides to move to Australia.
Moving to Australia, it turns out,
is full of Illustrations which can
seem quite laughable to everyone
except those actually involved.
Actually, it is pretty thread

Each sets about this
rather winningly, Hawkins as

band sick Of England's change
less ways; Miss johnson as the
wife reconciled to her mates
jumpy ways; and Miss Thorborn
as the budding daughter who
chooses this, of all times, to fall
in love.
Between them, the trio creates
a merry impression of an attrac-
tive family that has just jumped
out of a frying pan into a fire.
They have got a house to rent,
a car to sell. a pet cat to dispose
OF and daughters first Adde'S
cent love affair to compose.
In the case of normally senti-
mental humans, dilemmas such
as these can turn into downright
plaques, which is precisely what
they do in the case of the
Fletchers. BY never feigning
that all this is more than it
really is and getting the most
out of what it offers, Director
Michael Truman and his players
make Touch and Go" a minor
joy.
And, not improbably, what is
called an audience picture.

What is there so special about
flowers, anyway? Well, they
brighten gardens with their color;

GRANGE, and provide food for many
insects and for the humming bird.
They are used for weddings,
funerals, receptions, commence

great commercial value, but they
have inspired artists and poets
over the centuries. Spanish leg
