Suzie Wong Receives Cold Cincinnati Reception
The World of Suzie Wong opened a one week run at the Shubert Theater in Cincinnati. The production, based on Richard Mason's book, drew criticism for weak plotting and audible delivery by leads Robert Elston and Jeri Miyazaki. Tom Helmore appeared briefly, offering a stronger stage presence than the main cast. Director Joshua Logan relied on costumes and revolving scenery, leaving the ending unconvincing and the audience restless.
