Shirley Booth, a splendid ac-
tress, played Perle with all the
talent at her command, which
wasn't near enough. The script
took her from New York (ro-

with George Mesta), to Wash

diplomacy, and to Moscow
(where we are told she escaped
her Soviet watchdogs momen-
tarily), and finally back home.
One can sympathize with
Madam Mesta's desire to finance
scholarships to America for for

"It's very difficult for a dra-

points out.
The expert actress who is
currently starring in the Shu-

solution. In fact. she had it five
years ago but TV producer Fred
Coe, who was enthusiastic about
the idea, reluctantly put aside
her proposal for a repertory
company on TV. 1T was too
early for it" Miss Fitzgerald
says.
