The story of “Harvey,” which combines mad comedy with gen- tle whimsey, concerns an affable inebriate named Elwood P. Dowd who makes a boon companion of a bunny. No ordinary bunny, El- wood’s pal is a pooka — a fine friendly invisible creature who hap- pens to take the form of a rabbit by: the. name of Harvey, six feet one and a half inches tall. Elwood, a calm lovable bache- lor who keeps a bottle of Scotch behind Jane Austen on ‘his book- shelf, knows lots of people in his community and they all love him. His sister Veta thinks’ there’s a li- mit to his gregariousness, though, when she starts bringing Harvey home. Veta tries to get Elwood and Harvey committed to a high class sanitarium, but the difficulty is that she has seen Harvey too. Ultimately, even one of the doc- tors meets up with the phantom hare! The play’s philosophy seems to be that it is better to be. a con- tented screwball with a rabbit than to be sane and friendless. So con- vincing is the argument that to- ward the end of the play most members of the audience are see- ing Harvey too, large as life, up on the stage. Jack Clarke is seen here as the} pixilated Elwood, a role played at various times in the United States by Frank Fay, Joe E. Brown and James Stewart. In England, Aus- tria, France, Denmark; Sweden and almost every other civilized country the same role of Elwood P. Dowd has been the eareer-mak- ing vehicle of the top stars of those countries. Mildred Jeffers por- trays Elwood’s bewildered sister, and Barbara Anastasia his awk- ward niece, while other roles are played by Stanley Pierce, Gertrude Byrns, Ray Burns, David Meneghel, Lari Monroe, Gertrude Splaine, Dick Splaine. The comedy was staged for the, Key West Players by Emily God- dard. APPLY TO WED A. C. Allen, 53, 622 Micken’s| Lane, and Olive Sands, 44, 821 Whitehead. Paul Kennon, 46, and Fredeswin- inia.
