James Lamantia, as fired, and Evelyn Merson, as "amante" of Alceste, both give capable, if not outstanding, performances; perhaps the latter's chief flaw is a tendency to overdo her coy coquetry. Mollere's foppish aristocracy, as inevitable as Shakespeare's colwns, is capably portrayed by Hibbard James. Harold Fondren and Robert Miller...
