...deft and sure, she does not hog this show. With the exception of Philip Faversham, who is colossally unconvincing as the Reverend James' worshipping young assistant, the cast is excellent. John Cromwell is a sensitive and appealing Marchbanks; in clumsier hands Marchbanks can be clowned like a Tarkingtonian adolescent. Onslow Stevens as well as Cromwell has steered clear of extremes.

Playwright Elmer Rice, who adapted his own successful play, surrounded his study of Lawyer Simon with sketches of his associates and friends. Old Mrs. Simon wobbles into her son's office at odd moments, chattering in dialect. Lawyer Simon's stepchildren are nasty urchins who despise him for an illbred Jew. His secretary worships...
