...Hamlin's credit, he has not reached. His staging of Angel Street adheres to the liner notes, emphasizing Mrs. Manningham's dispersed mind and its pendulum swings back and forth between her husband, who seeks to drive her mad, and Rough, the detective who sets her free. Most interestingly, at the play's finish Mrs. Manningham's future sanity is left questionable when only a slight gratuity on the part of the director--a laugh, even a smile--would suffice to set the audience easy. It is an honest production, if a bland one, what a repertory company of poorly...
MARY Moss has her hands full with the fear and derangement of Mrs. Manningham, both of which she depicts well; but her performance imparts no sense of a character lying beneath temporary insanity. Still, hers is the most accurately gauged portrayal in a set of competent ones. Martin Andrucki, her murderous husband, wears thin through lack of modulation, and a vocabulary of stock gesture. His beard will live on longer than his performance. Andre Bishop, as Rough, wears thin through camp and self-indulgence, but at least has a sure sense of where he's at. The maids, Joan Tolentino...
...shade too shiny, is an eminently presentable post-Victorian product, markedly more solid than the usual Loeb interior. Alan P. Symond's lighting still casts a few unintended shadows, but should be rebalanced by tonight, at which time also the all-important gaslight might be better coordinated with Mrs. Manningham's references to it.

...successor: Peter Thorneycroft, 52, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Minister of Aviation, an urbane, acerbic politician who likes to be called a "Tory" because the word is "short, sharp and abusive." - Lord Chancellor Viscount Kilmuir, 62, who for seven years presided over the judiciary. Successor: Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller, Attorney-General, widely nicknamed "Reggie Bullying-Manner." - Sir David Eccles. 57, Education Minister, a publicity-conscious politician who tried to cope with Britain's teacher shortage. Successor: Sir Edward Boyle, 38, who at 27 was Britain's youngest M.P. and is touted as a political comer. > Dr. Charles...
...members of Bertrand Russell's Committee of 100, the six had hoped that the trial would serve as a soapbox from which to present their ban-the-bomb views. But painstakingly, Attorney General Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller (nicknamed by detractors "Sir Reginald Bullying Manner"), stressed that the issue of the trial was not the political or moral beliefs of the defendants, but the fact that in trying to crash the gates of the Wethersfield base, they had conspired to violate Britain's Official Secrets Act. Backing him up, the bench brushed aside the defendants' attempts to question...
