The comedy scenes were enhanced by the skillful supporting | aid of Albert Gran, Claude Gilling- water, Dale Fuller, Lee Moran, Louise Beaver and Tom Ricketts, while the dramatic scenes enlisted the fine abilities of Ralph Graves (who is Miss Costello's new lead- ing man), Audrey, Ferris, Maude Turner Gordon, Andre Beranger, Tom Kennedy and others. The cast is one of the finest of the season. Their handling of the situation added greatly to the emotional quality of the drama and to the sparkling effect of the comedy.
