the standard brand of suspect,
witness. counsel. judge. court
clerk, and even dimwit secretary.
1t is this speciality that explains
the exceptional popularity of the
play in London and New York.
With Washington now bringing
up a cheerful rear.
Take the young man. He is
naivete itself. In appearance. he
is the sort who could not help
picking up an old lady's parcels
with no thought of picking up
the old lady. He naturally would
turn himself in to the police on
the basis of a help-solve-this-
murder want ad: a dramatic
help wanted if Miss Christie ever
thought of one.
A pair Of solicitors who enjoy
the practice Of criminal law
would naturally rally to such q
young man in such a pickle
Singularly undreary are these
three. also the aecused's beauti-
full, foreign wife; the prosecutor
who relisheS pitched legal
battles: and the judge who is
both witty and learned.
Three acts of roller coaster
thrills put these on display, the
first expository and slow, the
other two sizzling with suspense.
The latter takes the case into
court where fiction is much more
h apply manipulatable than
truth.
Here, the accused becomes a
relatively minor figure. The daz-
zlers are. emotionally and physi-
cally. the foreigner" wife, played
by Anne Meacham: the chief of
defense counsel. a vivaciously
confident man in def hands in
those OF Tom Bosley; the cool,
clever prosecutor who is suave-
ness itself in the performance of
Peter Breck; and the plump
knowing judge who wants it
known that he earned his seat,
ably represented by Henry Oil
YER.
Under Mrs. Fichandler's direc-
ton. these behave like the pros
Miss Christie's play deserves. So
do the others, most notably Del
Tenney as the old lady's favorite,
Warner Schreiner as the associ-
ate defense counsel, Dick O'Neill
as Scotland yard inspector, and
Lois Alexander as the murder
victims starchingly petulant
maid.
Robert Conley has done his
best job Of the season in setting
Arenas stage for Miss Christie's
brilliant chess game and Leo
Gallenstein has lighted it with
the skill of a man who likes best
the job that is toughest.

The Gypsy Spirit

NEW YORK.-The other night
in midtown hospital, four gyp-
sizes arrived and inquired about
the condition of a relative who
was hospitalized. They were told
to wait. that they'd be able to
visit the sick relative soon. They
sat for a while and then started
to wander up and down the halls.
: Before anybody knew it. they
were reading fortunes in the
wards and also predicting the
future for nurses and attendants.
They charged the nurses and
interns so cents. Bedridden pa
tients got a quick reading for
rs cents. The seers collected $50
before hospital officials herded
them into their relatives room
and gave nurses and interns a
sharp lecture on the scientific,
medical facts of life and the
future.
Remember Buster Keaton, the
old silent film comedian? Well,
the story of his life has been
filmed and it will get worldwide
distribution because Keaton's
pantomime. in his heyday. could
be understood anywhere in the
world. This poses something of
a problem with the biographical
film because Keaton was known
by dozen different names in far
countries. In Siam he was Ko-
freto, in China he's Wong Wong.
he's Kazunk in Liberia, Zybysko
in Poland. Glogo in Iceland,
Prysmmyslenko in Hungary,
Zephonio in Spain and Malice in
France. 1t all ought to cause
some title trouble.
A youngSter of our acquaint-
ance is old enough to take draw
ing lessons in school. and the
other day she was asked to draw
a picture depicting what she
wants to be when she grows up.
