A Marriage of Hearts Delcombe Play at Columbia
The Second Lady Delcombe tale unfolds on stage with Hartley Manners's uneven four act drama at the Columbia theater. Bellew and Storey earn praise for strong performances while the plot's third and fourth acts sag, and the climax fails to land as expected. Frederic de Belleville and Fatny Ward contribute solidly to the evening.
