Bert Lahr was the second aur- pri.se, not that his material or his r»erformance was unusual but in his versatility.

Handled seriously, a la O'Neill or as riotous fane, the plot would be as i;ood as .any. lUit Miss Younj;'.s play is an attempt to be sophisti- cated and clinical in its examina- tloti of the so-called Smart Set. Latter, liavin^: been exposed in various settlings and in numerous ways, is prob.ably Ketlin« tised to its nudity. At least, the audience failed to bo cither shocked or thrilled by 'Mrs. Taniuin*. riece bristles from end to end with spii'y epigrams, time-honored clithes antl a periodic, very sophis- ticated, speech by Miss Young anent American culture, busband.s, love, sex, and what have you. Two in- superable difncultles faced by the play were the Indifferent acting and the fact that. Miss Voting is no lohgor the lovable ingenue of Cas- tle^ Siiuare days in Boston. Her voice Is st|ll musical and her acting and personality charming, but she has mistaat herself a* a young, vi- brant female Don Juan.

NolMKly is very believable except Louise Caldwell, as Wanda Elwood. She is swell, as she has been conslis- tently all season. Douglas Gregory nts nicely into the leading male part, as a wooden young lawyer, and does his best to make it live. Don Rowan and Coburn tJoixJwin show tendencies toward acting, but ,are never given a chance. One gets th.' impression that each member of the cast wrote his own lines without consulting any of the oth- ers. Result is that each .ffOOd;: line is spoken many times.
