Irrna, as realistic as she can
be romantic, and her studious
eventually jealous Nestor, are
merely the central figures In
the testing book, music, and
dance Of the musical. Miss Fig
is the only doll in the show,
but there are uncounted guys
around her. They include pick
pockets, "mecS," grating po-
licemen, corruptible officials,
and even as the program iden-
titles him IAN honest man."

Of these can have been more
charming than the Irma, played
by Taina Fig on this occasion.
who reappeared at the E street
house last night for a fortnight
stay.
Miss Figs Irma, at the dis
lance Of a proscenium arch,
Is q girl not to be missed. 1t
isn't that she has a heart Of
gold. That type has been in
high fashion, so to speak, for
too many decades in the
theater.
Irma, you see, is different,
q Parisienne. AS such, she is
not subject to the gold stand
ard. She is mads instead of in
souciance, spirit. and some
thing that might be called
sparkling resignation to the
facts of life in Paris Place
Pigalle. AS when Elizabeth Seal
played her here first, two sea-
sons ago, she is a girl who adds
more to her environment than
she has permitted it to take
away from her.
Trina La Douce," endowed
with q witty book, sprightly
music, and Gallically designed
dance, loses less in Miss Elg's
successorship to Miss Seal than
in other cast changes. Joseph
Bova, for instance. is an in
gratiating chap as the cere-
monious master Of Irma's rev.
els. Nevertheless, he does seem
less immersed in the accent and
folkways Of Pigalle than Clyde
Revill, the original Bob-Le-
Hotu, proprietor of the neigh
borhood bar.
This is not important to any
one seeing the musical for the
first time, and possibly only to
the misanthropes among the
repeaters.
In spite of its flavor and
its Pigalle setting, Trina La
Douce" profits by being Eng
lish. It is the zeStful report Of
a neighbor only too happy to
have found in Paris a form Of
life so different from ones own.
1t is a paean of admiration
to such irreverently designed
uniqueness as that represented
by Irma and her companions.
If anyone remains unin-
formed on the details Of this,
it has to do with a pretty,
lissome girl who is anybody's
and everybody's girl until she
meets q young law student. He
is the type with which any girl
might fall honestly, even hon.
orably in an oblique way, in
love. Irma does, so deeply that
she works harder than ever to
send him through law school.
There is much more to it
than this, but it is largely in
cidental and, in decency, to be
left to adult theatergoers to
