Price, who also brings his wide experience to the requiring role of Papa Barrett, the cast and stage .crew expend themselves to achieve a balanced production of beauty, charm, and persuasion which enhances the familiar. Isabel Price earns accolades with her consistent, quiet, sensitive development of the lead role Elizabeth Barrett. It is a matter of expression, or nuance, of physical shrinking as well as of speech, which holds the audience raptly her ally, as she charms the eye and directs the mind. * Nat Doughty commands respect for his careful, intelligent, tender j>ortrayal of Robert Browning. Mr. Doughty grows in the meaty role to ail achievement of leashed power and virility. Elizabeth's sisters Henrietta and Arabel and delightfully and skillfully played by Tee-Ann Doughty and Jane F, Keating. Henrietta in the hands of Mrs. Doughty is equal tb the dramatic exigencies of the role which have a wide scope. Arabel as played by Miss Keating is consistently restrained until her final hysteria. Both roles are well handled to set individual characters and establish contrast Elizabeth Garrett Hayes is nicely cast as the volatile flirtatious Bella Hedley/Joyce Noone's Wilson is a thing of such perfection that it must be seen to be truly appreciated. Much of the tension of scene 2, Act 3, is due to her skill. Harry* Oafiferty contributes a perfect brief characterization as Henry Bevan, the nth degree of Victorian popinjay. Ronald F. Porter cut a beguiling figure as Captain Surtees Cook, whose charm for Henrietta is easily understood. Ted Selmes as Doctor Chambers is a likeable English family doctor whose devotion to Elizabeth endears him to- the audience. Brian Cookson who appears briefly as consulting Dr. Ford Waterlow goes professionally to the. heart of the matter. '■ The Barrett brothers who form one of the affectionately held groups in modern dramas, were played with nice difference and business by Philip Price (Occy), William ,Swezey (Septimus), James Hayes (Alfred), John Bodkin (Charles), Hermann Ybnkers (Henry), John Hayes (George).
