Inside facts of stage and screen (November 8, 1930)

NOV. 8, 1930 INSIDE FACTS OF STAGE AND SCREEN PAGE FIVE REVIEWS whole play. A perfect satire makes the slight plot unimportant. Civic Repertory has cast the play in splendid manner. Alan Mow- bray gives the seasons best stage performance as the king. Any but the best type actor would have floundered hopelessly in Shaw’s flood of ideas. Doris Lloyd as Or- inthia the king’s mistress is perfect. Chappell Dossett as Proteus the Prime Minister has a difficult part and measures up to it beautifully. Lillian Bond, good looking, clicked admirably and lived up to every expectation. Daisy Belmore and Paul Nicholson were present only in the last act, but their impressions were effective.. Others were Arnold Walsh, Donald Murray, Howard Davies, Boyd Irwin, Eric Snowdon, Olaf Hytten, Cyril Dele- vanti, Evelyn Hall, Nellie Strong, John Arensma, and Burr King. Every member of the cast meas- ured to high standard of the play. Kerr.
