Thus last week in The Churchman (Episcopal) wrote Rev. Dr. Donald Bradshaw Aldrich of Manhattan's Church of the Ascension. His remarks were by way of foreword to an article "Flowers on the Altar" by Mrs. Eleanor H. Sloan, Connecticut horticulturist who long has been on the Church of the Ascension's Altar Guild.

Naomi Bradshaw (Joanna Roos) plans to elope with a boy, is thwarted by the same father who spoke the same epigrams in Coquette (Charles Waldron), is sent to boarding school. Miss Barnes advances the theory that if her heroine had not been sent off to school she would not have been seduced by her boy friend, later to be pardoned by her erring parents. The play is embarrassingly bad for the most part...
