It is the story of Ruth Gordon's own girlhood family and her attempt to become an actress. It was the day when telephones were luxuries and families were install- ing them slowly, one by one. Elliott and Jessica MacSwan as Mr. and Mrs. Jones were the cen- ter of interest along with their lovely daughter, Murray Dann, new on the Comedy Club stage. Their acting was admirable, the storming, but loyal husband and father, the mild but Ingenious wife and mother, and the persistent but lovable daughter. Ruth Ellen Knott and Betty St Coeur as friends ot Ruth Gordon and Walter Royal Jones, Jr., as her "beau" were all excellent in their supporting parts. Charles Howes and Prlscllla Hills filled well the roles of Mr. Bagloy of the Y.M.C.A. and Miss Glavln , the physical education instructor "from out Brookline way", as, at her father's wish , they tried to pro- mote Ruth for that line ot work. To everyone's surprise, Including his daughter's, Mr. Jones ac- quiesced in Ruth's desire to go on the stage, and the objectonable physical ed. persons were promtply forgotten. Bruce Jerauld added a thorough- ly realstic and homey touch in his part as Mr. Sparrow, "the man who owned a wagon." And Punk, the black cat, deserves mention tor his acting. He seemed always to be where he was supposed to be.
