...McCobb's Daughter, Carrie, is played by Clare Eames, slim, high-voltage onetime Lady Macbeth in the late James K. Hackett's Shakespearian swashbuckling (crowned by France). Sidney Howard, who knew what they wanted, provides her and the Theatre Guild with an effective Down East chariot, brought up to date with a bootleg plot.
