Miss Russell. When she throws
herself into her work the re-
suit is hilarity. She is ideally
cast as the snobbish Lady
Bracknill and she makes won
derful moments of lone Lump
or Two" The Cloakroom at
Victoria" and The Social
Scale"
A clue to the problems facing
Producer Ellis, Writer Ellis and
Director Stone may be found in
the fact that Miss Russell gets
her first housekeeping ova-
ton well along in the third of
three acts. The customers will
have to be given something
that exciting a lot earlier or
they won't be around when it
does happen.

tributed his customary assist,
too. by way of q pair of set
tings that won't be bettered
when Half in Earnest" is
staged in New York.
The best way to sum this up
will be to use the trade paper

his players give it a broad
styled treatment. The danger
with this is that they may seem
to be poking rude fun at the
work they are employed in,
rather than having fun with it.
The players obviously are
having fun, though. with some
of the musical numbers and
Mr.. Stone has staged these
most effectively. Mrs. Ellis has
decorated Mr.. Wilde with a
wide array of songs, ranging
from comic to romantic and
venturing into virtually every
style but rock m roll. 1t is I'M
fair to judge a musical score
when it is played on a piano
in a summer theater, even
when played as we'll as George
Bauer does it. 1t seems safe to
predict, however, that no one
will wrongly assume that Rod
gers and Hammerstein did this
one.

Mrs. Ellis does deserve some
sort of an award for one of
the funnier lyrics of the year.

ing much of a secret of it
this is a musical adaptation by
Vivian Ellis of Oscar Wilde's
THE Importance of Being
Earnest" Its producer. Michael
Ellis, who directs the affairs of
the Bucks County Playhouse,
hopes to get it on Broadway
in the fall.
Should he do so. the import
ance of having Anna Russell
will be paramount in his life.
For she generates a great deal
of comedy excitement when
ever she is on stage. Unfortu-
nately. she leaves the stage.
When she does so some doubts
arise as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
setting "The Importance of
Being Earnest" to music, how
ever artfully done.

This is not "Pygmalion" and
Half in Earnest" is not MY
Fair Lady The London So
ciety settings may be vaguely
similar separated by the dis
lance from 1895 to 1910 but
there the resemblance stops.
Shaw's play has poignance,
Wilde's nonsense.
You can make a musical
comedy book of this business of
a pair of London dandies WOO
ing and winning a couple of
girls by declaring they are
named Earnest, which they are
not. But you return musical
comedy to the day when mu-
steal books weren't expected to
make sense.
This may be a curmudgeonly
attitude toward the production
at the Olney. Mrs. Ellis seems
to have retained a great deal
of the original Wilde wit in her
adaptation. If you are among
the underprivileged one-third
of a nation that never has been
in or watched the play. YOU
may find it all delightful.

tidy and with a solid dignity
into its now sunny, now rainy
landscape. 1t belongs to its an
Gent past and, just as surely,
to its summary tranquil present.
The visitor feels it as a meet

and modern, where time has
come to a relaxing pause but
by no means to a stop.

Accommodating and hos

indeed. Its roof has an over
hang of several feet to protect
its porous walls of gravel and
plaster from the driving rains

two sides, with flower boxes
garlanding its east and west
balustrades with N arch in g

Risol lies on a ledge, for

and the area Immediately about
the house is not merely taste
fully but also Sactfully gar
dened. "Tactfully" for an ex-
cellent reason. 1t is a country
garden, an attractive mixture
of delphinium, phlox. roses. be-
gonias, and Towering ground
plants among which are rich
green beds of red raspberrieS,
strawberries, ana lettuce.
Until he sees it. the city
gardener has no concept of the
harmony that is to be produced
by this, to him odd, combina-
ton. In over-popu1ated Europe,
the useful and the lovely must
grow side by side.
1t is the house, so trans
formed, that is the most dra-
matte single feature of Risol.
OutWardly. it is peasant
structure. Inside, without loss
of its essential character it is a
place of complete charm and
comfort to match. The Kitchen
living dining room. its large,
raised and recessed fireplace
where the earlier owners
cooked, ate and lived, is intact.
But it is now transformed into
an old-new living room, with
touches of elegance which are
heightened dramatically by the

to the dire forecasts from many
other delegates and observers
that the first hemisphere con-
ference ever called by the Or
Eganization Of American States
is doomed to failure. Most OF
the gloom. in the eyes Of Latin

United States resistance to the
