...collectors last week came upon Lewis Carroll's fantastic Gryphon in all his original scaly glory. Up at auction was the largest group in the U.S. of the great Sir John Tenniel's illustrations for Alice, Through the Looking-Glass and other drawings (collection of the late Bronson Winthrop, onetime law partner of War Secretary Henry L.

Earl Montgomery and Bob Keahey have the two important male roles, both of which are done with excellent comedy timing, while the two feminine leads, Jacqueline Proctor of Erskine and Edith Bronson of Radcliffe, perform nicely in the two most ordinary parts in the play.
