"COMMUNIQUES to the effect that 'Uncle Vanya,' which opened at the Baronet last night, is the first of Chekhov's plays ever to be filmed here, should be of interest only to the archivists. Researchers may even scotch this theory. The simple fact is that in putting a superb set of performances on permanent record, Pranchot [sic] Tone and his fellow players and associates have contributed a solid and genuine legacy to the arts and devotees of theatre everywhere.
"Since they obviously are dedicated people, they unfortunately photographed, almost literally and with practically the identical cast, the drama they staged early in 1956 at the Fourth Street Playhouse." |
