Broadway Nights Copyrlsfet. USt, Kins Features Syndicate, Inc. By AXEL STORM NEW YORK. 'kiss Tallulah Bankhead Is, aa the gentle reader must know by now, a happy, hap py girt She now has, for the first time in more yean than is nice, a Broadway hit. It's Lillian Hell- man s -The Little Foxes, cur rently at the National theatre in 41st street. It s a play about a grasping, money - grabbing, un principled and completely porcine southern family and while "The Little Foxes" doesn't err on the side of subtlety, ' it Is informed with a melodrama which occas ionally , achieves tragedy. The play is a not-too-expert disserta tion on the helplessness of decen cy in the grip of the "realists." and Miss Hellmaa cleaves to her essay with a power and concentra tion which causes her to over state,' rather than depict by more restrained means, her stark and di rect story. The brothers Oscar and Ben Hubbard (Carl Benton Reid and Charles Dingle. respectively) and their sister Regina (Miss Bank head) are the tight-lipped trium virate around whom'-the play re- TOlves. Regina Is married to Hor ace Giddens (Frank - Conroy) whose heart trouble takes him. to hospital in Baltimore. The. Hub bards, eotton planters, have an opportunity of getting a partner ship In a cotton mill which nor thern capital is bringing to their territory. Giddens isn't interested, but his money Is needed, so Ben's son swipes $85,000 In. railroad bonds from Giddens bank box. Horace finds It out. and there's no point in telling you the whole story, because yon won't like to know It before ' yon see Miss Bankhead In the play. It Is suffi cient to say that Regint kills her bnsband (by not getting him med icine which he must hare ) and that the - husband has the ' last laugh by letting them get. away with the theft, so that they might fight and the ! little foxes rend themselves with their teeth. Part Well Portrayed X The . fattest of all roles la re cent yean, that of Ben's .wife, went to Miss Patricia Collinge.

HJgglns family. grimy hands of the Hubbards sh drinks herself Into a state of neurotlclsm to be .able to bear the marriage. Miss Bankhead'. cruel authority, her unswerving devotion to becoming a million aire, her whole-hearted lack of principle as regards the achieve ment of money paints a stark and unlovely portrait with deftness and surety which cer tainly gives Tallulah high rank cn the American stage. Miss Coi nage's semi-hysteria, her desper ate clinging to the days! that have gone and won t return, to a pleasant and civilized : life on a great and glamorous planta tion of the old South, win the sympathy of enthusiastic audi ences. The utter and mutter- able swinishness of the brothers Hubbard offers a companion piece to Regina's money-hunger, wnicn outdoes them in inrenu lty and cold calculation. Horace Giddens. with death standing at bis shoulder, watches - with de tached and uncurious . assurance as the Hubbards tear each oth era viiats ior goia and ; ower.
