aufhammer who albert adam songwriter in love with the prima donna ilona szabo jack lee seemed a bit immature for his part his attempt at suicide was quite unconvincing somehow it was hard to believe that he loved the prima donna as he should have perhaps it was because jack lee as rile prima donna was a trifle buxom and tall for the splender albert adam and by the way jack lee's soprano laugh is some thing which should not be missed even though the rest of his per formance was not quite up to stan dard because of his apparent matur ity compared with albert adam and because of the slowness in which he picked up his cue his liquid laughter more than made up for these other deficiencies francis neuwirth played almady a dissolute vain actor his ten dency to overeat stood him in good stead in

the plot of it until the middle of the first act when the noise quieted down the play centers about the efforts of one sandor turia a playwrite to smooth over an incident threat ens to disrupt the
