The piece con- tinues tonight and Saturday night. It is Prof. Allen's first play in the Annie Russell since "Anti- gone," and showed his sure, deft touch for light comedy and satire. The truly sparkling settings were designed by Wilbur Dorsett, and the lighting was by Dick Verigan of the Annie, Russell staff. Dor- sett's colorful and nostalgic treat- ments of the second and third act scenery, Mrs. Molloy's millinery shop and the Harmonia Gardens restaurant, are memorably splen- did. The play is a slender thing, like all of Wllder's, more significant in the unsaid than in the lines them- selves. No whip-cracking sallies here as in its predecessor, "The Man Who Came to Dinner.' The humor is more gently subtle and delicately flavored. It is .both fantasy and) allegory. Horace Vandergelder, the "Mer- chant of Yonkers," is played by Eugene Smith, who works hard but is not quite convincing.
