The Geddes production lops a good-sized chunk off the original script, a move which will offend none but the most iconoclastic purist. Director Geddes has also provided an adequate cast. Raymond Massey, a cadaverous young man who brings from London fame as an actor-director-manager (The Man in Possession, Topaze, Grand Hotel) simultaneously makes his U.
