from its balcony so realistic as to make the audience expect the omnipresent pigeons fly in the open windows at any minute Mr du Bois also credited with the costumes which are in our mind less successful in so far as enhancing the charms of Uta Hagen at least The premiere of "In Any Ian-uage may not have overwhelmed us as a potential smash-hit nor left us with laughter-aching sides but it

she has a characterizai tkm in surh sharp contrast to her previous jortrayals as to prove how wide is her range of talent We are trot too impressed with the structure of this new comedy by Edmund Beloin and Herr Garson adapted from a story written by the latter "In Any Language" ha at the noment some serious flaws which may very well undergo successful surgery before it reaches Broadway George nbott who is presenting it jointly with Jule Styne is a most caoible director whose proven talents are needed to smarten up some of the duller moments as they i bowed up in Thursday opening He has a

shocked ard intrigued two continents not too long ago If there is a conniption between the two real or magined it can be said this comedy is a somewhat neverse arple of the affair Funny situations and funnier lines inspire a goodly amount of mirthful aud ence reaction As for us we hope the director and authors will further develop the possibilities of the scone wherein Hannah played by Miss Hagen
