Leland Moss played the queer brother with restraint, wisely letting the text, not phony mannerisms, establish that the characer was a homosexual. An outlandish swish would have been out of balance with the other performances, all on the quiet side, but Moss might have been a bit more peevish and shrill in his woman-hating moments. Kenneth McBain gave a controlled and droll performance as Mr. Sloane, not perhaps as sinister as he should be, but always the master of his accent and his deadpan.
