The lines include any number of bright and notso-bright ideas on marriage pro and con and you'll probably find yours among them. The part centers around ] ohn, a wealthy mill owner, ably played by Karl Way, and his two sisters. whose live·3 he is trying to shape to conform to his interests. Dorothv Holmes goes over as the older and more self-willed of the two, while Joan Pears does nicely with the part of the younger, who is about resigned to her fate-a loveless marriage. Karl Hackett is better than ever as the young scientist who is in love with the older girl, Helen. Lew Welch i·s uproarious as the uncle who "fixes" things. Genevieve Ru.ssell and Edward Harvey lend a great deal of conviction t'o their parts but William Noltner is just so-so. The play ends with a crashing surprise that brings down the house.
