The Easiest Way at Hollis Street Theatre in Boston
A Boston reviewer analyzes Eugene Walter s The Easiest Way at Hollis Street Theatre starring Frances Starr. The drama centers on a New York girl drawn to luxury by worldly men, then abandoned. Starr earns sympathy with restrained, natural acting while Kilgour Robin Brown and Randolph support a strong cast. The piece runs three weeks with potential for crowded houses.
