Cape Theatre Review By the Observer ^ Florence McGee in “TheGprtain Rises” was the feature ofthe opening production of the Cape Theatre for the season of 1942, as presented last night by T. C. Upham before a representative

audience.

The cast was as follows: Poldl, Ellin Brooke; Thona, Patricia Deering; Rudolph, Herbert Welters; Amy, MacGregor Gibb; Elsa Karling, Florence McGee; William Meissinger, W. James Bedell; Franz Kemmann, Philip Earle. Miss McGee, the fine artist who held the rapt attention . of audiences for more than two years J “ die famous New York run

* Children’s Hour”, play-

ed the role of Elsa Karling, the young Viennese woman who aspired to be an actress. It is a part eminently suited to her talents. She acquired many friends by her thoughtful, energetic and artistic performance. Her personality and her style of acting are

attractive and winning.

Miss McGee’s success in her introductory performance before a Cape May audience was hell no little by the gay and finishshowmanship of W. James Bedell and Philip Earle, who played opposite her. Mr. Bedell as usual gained the interested attention of the audience from the time of his first entrance, and Mr. Earle showed at once that he will be popular throughout the summer in the leading parts that are to

be his.

The others in the company capably rounded out the whole, so that the entire production moved smoothly and tellingly. A nod should go to MacGregor Gibb for his lively interpretation of the amusing “Amy"—and also a good measure of credit for his hard work in getting the lights and scenery ready for the opening. The play was staged intelligently by Mr. Earle. The lighting equipment was from the Broadway Stage Lighting Company, and the flowers were by courtesy of J. Clarence Gallaher, of Cape May. The play was used by special arrangement with the Century

Play Company of New York.

“The Curtain Rises” will continue its run through Saturday night, with a matinee on Saturday at 2:40. There are special rates at all performances for enlisted men and for young people. The second production of the season will start next Wednesday night for its four-day run. The play is the successful 'Russian farce "Squaring the Circle", which, needless to say, will be

played here in English.
