She makes him go through with it by threatening to Tell a life photographer that he is the Man she stayed out late with. Where the communist or opa Ganda seems to be is in the fact that the play shows that some american colleges Are presumably run on timid lines. But enough of that. Miss Carroll is a Good actress and her Beauty is As Cameo like As Ever. She wears stunning clothes has a terrific amount of Joise and is an ornament to the whole play. I thought however hat the show was stolen by str y Booth who plays an outspoken Secretary. Miss Booth is a wonder us performer who is Able to mix in with her vinegar and she chalks p a characterization which has a real Deal of Sharp enjoyment. Appearing As the timid col lege professor is Conrad Bagel an actor who used to be popu Lar with the flappers of 15 years ago.

Coward s 19 year old manuscript about and saying it is a Triumph of histrionics Over dated mater Ial. My own reaction to the show after seeing it tonight is that while time has shod died the fabric of the work and filled it full of holes that miss Bankhead merely rips it to death. Given a performance in which rapier teamwork had its Way it might have had a slightly antique Charm. It s funny in t it that a comedy which seemed to be so irresistibly funny nearly two decades ago should now be a bit Brown around the edges like a fading Gardenia. It was a tour de Force of acting re Quiring an Fictor anal actress with trigger skill to give it Point and continuity. In miss Bankhead s production she is quite obviously the thing and the others in the Small cast Are merely there for Decora Tion and to feed the lines to her. Most of the plot of private lives. Amanda and Elyot have been divorced but they meet again just after they have been married to others. They Ruji away fight All Over again and leave at the end of tie play laughing at the wreckage they have created. Amanda should be a mercurial creature. She should shimmer like shot taffeta. Miss Bankhead makes her a blows Harriman with a i whiskey voice much More suited to a performance of Sadie Thomp son in invents Tawdy bits business she kills her partner s lines by mugging while he is talk ing and she has t the slightest sense of ensemble. If that is a Sample of great acting i la take Tarzan of the apes. There in t much More to say about private lives. Donald Cook in an assured performer who knows that miss Bankhead is Boss and he acquiesces Sra ram a to her be Kibo rings and her the other three members of Barbara Baxley William Langford and Therese the Best they can under the circumstances. One of the odder manifestations new York theatrical life seems to be the impression that the Madeleine Carroll play goodbye my fancy which is now showing at the Fulton theatre reeks with communistic propaganda. One irate gentleman is suing to have the Price of his ticket refunded because he thinks the whole play is an insult to America. I saw goodbye my fancy and it struck me As a slight moderately charming Little comedy a r a m a which will neither raise the temperature nor lower it either. It is simply a smooth vehicle to drape around the undeniably Beautiful and competent1 miss Carroll. Madeleine Carroll the plot of the play is briefly this miss Carroll a congresswoman returns to the Good Hope College for women in order to collect a degree. Years before she had been expelled from the College for staying out All night. The Man who had been her companion is now the president of the College. He has grown Stuffy and More concerned with endowments and new buildings than he is with Freedom of speech. Miss Carroll has brought a film with her. It deals with the horrors of War.
