    PLAYERS SPARKLE IN FRENCH PLAY
    It could only happen in a French setting. A successful woman novelist has three children—and the children have three different fathers. So when the time comes for two of them to want to marry into a family of notable Puritans, the mother decides that the only way to prevent a scandal is to first get married herself. That is the intriguing situation which is adapted from the French as the curtain goes up on “Dear Charles” at the Palace Avenue-theatre, Paignton, this week. The comedy, which is adapted from the French by Alan Melville, brings the Unicorn Players’ current season to an end. The theme of the play is novel, and none of the old comedy cliches have found their way into the script. The piece sparkles with humour and last night’s production was first-class. Sybil Ewbank, as Denise, the novelist, dominated the stage as she has so often done in the past season. This was by far the most “glamorous” part she has played, and she handles it with breathless energy and enthusiasm. James Irwin also appeals as her Polish lover, an international pianist who had married small talent to great showmanship. He is perfectly cast in a role whica demands considerable comic talent. The English and French lovers are played by Guy Graham and Howard Lamb. The three children—reminded by their mother that they were extremely privileged in having an opportunity to choose their own father—were Neil Phelps, Anthony Benson and Cordelia Crawshaw. Others in the cast are James Mooney, Anne Hughesdon, Astrid Andersen, Elizabeth Noctor and Gerry Vale. Production is by Edmund S. Phelps.
