Children- $1 00 rascnATiNq iu.oTOA,Hr Beatrice Lillie happy medium ba3ed on Xoel Coward's well-remembered comedy, "Blithe Spirit," and it has been directed by Coward in a blithe spirit. I was grateful last evening that nobody was trying to overpower me. Lillie did overpower me, but it wasn't her fault. AH she has to do is give me one innocent leer and I'm a goner. Summons a Ghost The Coward plot, fashioned into songs and libretto by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray, concerns a medium.

Miss Lillie, who holds a seance in Woodward's home and materializes the ectoplasm of Woodward's seven-years-dead first wife, Miss Grimes. This sets off some charming complications, for Woodward is now the husband of the beautiful Miss Troy. Miss Lillie is the best medium (she calls herself a happy medium in one ridiculous song) because there is none other like her. She rides a bicycle. She wears horrible shoes and hats and pants and wrappers and is generally uncoordinated but always and forever a lady.

Miss Grimes is an oddly seductive spook wjth a crackv voice, a rC'M'ii' MEREDITH WILLS0N we Adult Prices imcl. an MATS. I EYES. 2 3 4 5 650 CHILDREN UNDER 12 AT HALF PRICE Utot. tfire Fri.

And when Miss Lillie, expecting a visitor from Beyond, gets going on a number called "Something Is Coming to Tea." we have a fine example of a great comic artist at work.

High Spirits" is not a bold knockout, a boffo, a brassy spectacular. It is, simply, high spirits and when I left the Alvin last evening I felt better than I did when I went in. So, I hope, may you. HUM aa auau ERK'S L.OVE 9tarrina GOLDEN THEA IS2 W. 45tl St.
