Freckles stage production praised for character work
Perry Golden as Freckies leads an Irish wit performance with strong character work. Bryce Desmond as McClean gives an artistic sketch of the Timber Company head. De Laney Barclay as Dun can delivers a sharp Scotch dialect turn. Helen G. Judson as his wife provides a satisfactory artistic study. Miriam Gaspere stands out among Baltimore ingenues and Cecila Yeoman as the birdwoman adds a finishing touch. Bernard Johnson and James S. Kitts portray thieves with vivid naturalness. Charles Tlow as Lorg O'Moore and Alfred d J. Fox in supporting roles. The plot has rough spots but will improve with the run. Golden ends by singing twice and the show remains worthwhile entertainment.
