THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON

James Barrie's philosophical comedy, "The Admirable Crichton," rang up the curtain for the start of another highly successful dramatic season. This serious yet ludicrous story of a haughty aristocratic English family and their perfect butler, Crichton, well expounded the author's belief in the inequality of man. The title role of Crichton was well portrayed by Glen Starlin. Glendon Davis gave a sterling characterization of Lord Loam. Lady Mary (Grace Sollers). Lady Agatha (Ruth Bennett), and Lady Catherine (Helen Clough) gave excellent performances. Lord Brocklehurst (Walter Betts), Tweeny (Bess Cuddy), and Fisher (Mary Sullivan) furnished much of the comedy. O ther members of the cast were Phyllis Rand, George Oram, Joseph Mills, Esther Ross, Blaine Crawford, Melvin Westerdahl, Loren Bruns, Marjorie Lester, Sam Taylor, Homer Johnson, Jane Pasley, Kent Courtney, Helen Abbott, and Phyllis Gregson.
