...pivotal figure in the play is, of course, Mrs. Alving, but as Anne Miner portrays her she is constrained almost to the point of inarticulateness. In the minor roles, Lisa Commager (the Alving's maid) is beautiful and occasionally quite good, while Laurence Jacobs often misinterprets the character of Jacob Engstrand, a Falstaffian carpenter...

They are both men who had humble beginnings and came to the top. The Prime Minister was once a miner. The President worked his way through school, and among his jobs was the back-breaking job of carrying...
