It was depressing to see, for instance, so able an actor as John McCreary giggling and making side comments to another member of the cast. With more rehearsals, this production has possibilities. As it was, the cast, shepherded by Kate Ross, scarcely did justice to the play. Bea. Hutcheson and Dennis Hartley were good.
