Walter Connolly made a great success as the Bishop in the Broadway version of Frederic Jackson's play last winter, but it is hard to believe that anyone could be as good as Edmund Gwenn is in this adaptation. He is even convincing when his Episcopalian relish for a nice little crime gets the young people into trouble and he has to turn dramatic to save them.
