In one of the intervals Sir Hugh a witty and Im- Walpole made passioned ples for the intellectual theatre in London, It was quite the best thing of the evening. I spent most of the rest of the time wondering what Sir Hugh_thought of Bertha Granam's comedy. "Rich Martha," which inaugurated the venture.
It was a badly constructed story about the richest girl in England, who was the power behind three companies, A, B, and C.. her uncle, who ran off with a vapid young sin- ger and apparently, most of the bonds of the concern; and a tacti- turn Scot, who was engaged on an undertaking that was anything but clear.
The dialogue abounded 11 eliches, and the author left char- acters hanging about the small stage for long periods with Lothing to do. Some of the lines would the have gone down well at Elephant and Castle n the old days. Altogether a queer enter- tainment, but one in which there was
a good deal of humour of the unconscious variety.
I was sorry for the cast. Diedre Mason, an actress with, some dis- tinction, did her best with 3 stodgy part, and Frank Pettingell, Joan Playfair. George Cormack and Eric Maturin played up loyally.
