partially solved. Despite good dialog excellent acting, especially that of Ethel Griffies in the role of the sinister housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers, neither the morbid influence of Rebecca nor the great estate of Manderley carries as much weight as in the novel. A play which has to devote so much talk to what has happened in the past tends to be slowed down. Furthermor#,' the physical limitions of staging, with a single set t has .to serve both as symbol of - Manderley’s magnificence and as housing for the action, cramp Miss Du Maurier’s style. The novel and the movie both got more across than the play does. But allowing for these handicaps, the play is worth seeing, if only for the splendid ‘performance of Miss Griffies. More than any other character in the play, she has projected her imagination into the role, so that when she is talking, Rebecca and Manderley both seem real, There's no point in criticizing others in the cast individually. All the acting was competent, and if some of the players seemed none too convinced of what they were doing and saying, that is probably the fault of the play. “Rebecca” will contitgue today and, with & matinee performance, tomorrow, Vincent Burke, manager of English’s, last night announced the engagement of “School for Brides,” with Jack Sheehan and Helen
