...buoyant, imponderably slight. Its setting is the living room of M. Maingot's villa in the south of France, whither a group of young Englishmen have come to learn French in preparation for the ''diplomatic'' and to have their lives complicated by a predatory lass, lithely represented by Penelope Dudley Ward. The play is joyously, if inexpertly, served by the younger characters of its cast (Philip Friend, Cyril Raymond, Hubert Gregg, Jacqueline Porel), Veterans Frank Lawton and Marcel Vallee (M.

John Meade, tycoon extraordinary, plays with natural resources as he does with the little country lass's heart--he is frank in his admission that his work is swindle by business technique, and he scorns to replant forests he devastates. When he shifts from lumber to wheat, he runs against a dust storm, the governor of the state who reminds him of his responsibility...
