His second wife Helena (Elizabeth Owens), a pampered young tigress on a sick old husband's fretful leash. Dr. Astrov (Winston May), pickled in vodka and suffocating in a town that the god of civilization forgot. Uncle Vanya (Sterling Jensen), who has turned his life into bread for the professor and been bitterly cheated of even the crumbs. Sonya, a flower of a girl, blooming without sun, air or water, and snapped...
