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.

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
