I found myself wishing the same thing because Miss Harris had just managed to evoke a miracle to save Christopher Plummer from death.

The play began with violence and hysteria in a fine, theatrical first act and moved into gentleness and philosophy in its later scenes, featuring Plummer as the most articulate dying man I've ever seen.

Playwright Costigan was blessed in his effort with a marvelous cast. The work of Miss Harris was, as always, superb, particularly in a frantic church scene in which she denounced God and smashed the candles burning before a statue of Christ. Plummer and Jones, Frank Conroy and George Peppard were uniformly excellent. ASIDE TO MRS. ELIZABETH WILLIAMS of Pasadenaice a bottle of your husband's champagne.
