Givney, William Phelps and ard are omnipresent spinster church worker and Mrs, Hibbard as the wife of the senior warden of the church and very much the dowager empress of the com- munity. If you don’t belleve her word is law, watch Bllly Phelps, who plays the part of her son. The trio is, as usual, good. Dorothy Tierney has Iit- tle to do as the deb daughter of the dowager empress. The cast is so large that the com- pany was forced to go out into the ways and byways of District dra- cs to get some of its talent, and it as splendidly successful in acquiring the services of Denis Connell of the St. Patrick’s Players for the part of the recalcitrant member of the vestry, who stuck by the minister through the congregation’s attacks; Robert L. Clear as the vestry's clerk and Ielen Grahame as the maid of the rectory. “Thank-U” boasts of as fine a first act as the company ever has produced. And there are many other reasons why the play as a whole should be seen.
