There Is a jo11y scene with the plumber (Dick Rose), who ~tops his work to play with her. And there are ~trange, fantastic scenes In the Te11-Ta le forest. where she Is wandering about In her dreams. And there Is at last the scene which Mary Frances likes best of all-the scene In the nursery, when her parents come back to her, never to leave her again. The cast of fifteen men and girls from the School of Speech. and two children from the dramatic department of Haven school are having final dress rehearsals today and tomorrow, under the direction of Winifred Ward. The play opens Saturday morning at 10, and plays again at 2 :30 In the afternoon, and at the same hours Saturday, Karch 17.
