Excerpts from Nancy Price's production at the Playhouse Theatre.

This play, which was written by Mazo de la Roche, is taken from the second of the series of six books dealing with the history of a Canadian family. Two of the principal characters will be seen - the formidable grandmother, and Finch, the sensitive and artistic young man, parts played by Nancy Price and Patrick Boxill. Nancy Price has been a prominent theatrical figure for nearly forty years. She is a fine actress and one of the most enterprising West-End stage producers. It was she who was instrumental in founding the People's National Theatre in 1930.
