Leona Hogarth (Margaret) and William Harrigan (Billy Brown) cope very successfully with their strenuous...

"The Living Mask", and "Each in His Own Way." If Pirandello is the Philosopher who has turned dramatist. Evreinov in this play is the showman who has become philosopher. Yet he still remains the show man. He knows that "We hear more with our eyes than with our ears...
