Drama Note

Krutch, Joseph Wood | January 30, 1943 issue

"Dark Eyes," is certainly one of those titles which once heard is never remembered. It happens, however, to belong to a very pleasant little farce comedy now current at the Belasco and is worth writing down for those who would like an evening of light entertainment less witlessly noisy than most of the current farces. The subject is amiable pre-war Russians in a quiet Long Island household. The authors are Elena Miramova and Eugenie Leontovich, who ought to know their characters. And if nothing very new is said about the Russian soul in its comic aspects, at least the topic can still be amusing when handled with wit.
