Louis Edmonds makes an impressive figure of the pivotal peculator Count La Ruse. His control and taste lapse only at rare moments, and he has considerable authority, elegance, and brio besides. As his mistress and nemesis, Robin Howard is asked to cope with a part that calls for the sort of compelling distinction that Siobhan McKenna and Colleen Dewhurst and very few others can command. On this level Miss Howard simply hasn't got it, but she is a competent actress with a splendid pair of shoulders. Lee Henry is similarly undefinitive but competent as Ultimate Evil. Arthur Malet cannot...
