its three-day before a good house at English's last night. Mr. Priestley's remarkable mysplay, a most distinguished

pressive cast, headed “by Thomas Mitchell. 7 Set in a Midland English manufacturing town in 1912, the play starts’ with the wealthy ‘Birling family finishing a dinner celebrating their daughter's engagement to the scion of a rival manufacturing family. An inspector (Mr. Mitchell) calls to question them about the mysterious suicide of a young woman. She died, it seems, in the local infirmary after hours of agony from drinking a powerful disinfectant. Resp nsibility Universal As Mr. Mitchell relentlessly

| questions each of the five present |at the dinner, it appears that all have some share of responsibility

for the girl's death. No need to rehearse the details here. Mr. Priestley’s point is the partly

the play back in 1912 thus becomes clear... The world wyr which has continued with intermissions and changes of scene since 1914 bears out the writer's thesis. ~ In prophetic lines Mr. Mitchell speaks, failure to recognize the all-inclusive responsibility human beings have for each other even at remote distances will inevitably wind up in fire and bloodshed. A surprise conclusion illustrates ideas Mr. Priestley has dealt with elsewhere concerning time and foreknowledge. Timing Is Excellent
