Revivals

Marco Millions. Eugene O'Neill's exposition of the great Marco Polo as little more than a hyper-travelling salesman ' seems somewhat more ponderous in its satire than it did two years ago. Writh skillful acting and luxurious decoration the Theatre Guild's itinerant company compensates as best it can for what is commonly considered inferior O'Neill.

The Serenade. In 1897 a singing troupe called The Bostonians, headed by famed Soprano Alice Neilson, first presented this early operetta by the late Victor Herbert. The trifling story concerned the larks caused by the proximity of a monastery and a convent. In curious deference to modern religious scruples these institutions have now become a girls' school and a military barracks. The Herbert tunes ("I Love Thee, I Adore Thee," "Gaze on This Face So Noble") are still the best features of the entertainment, are nicely sung by Milton Aborn's revival company.
