Delightful is the word for this beautifully costumed and cleverly produced comedy of manners, "Pride and Prejudice" . . . Enthusiastically received, the well-known story tripped lightly through beautiful settings in the best tradition of that age . . . with quaint curtseys, demure flirtations, gallant bows, and elaborate costumes intriguing the amused imagination. . . . The mature artistry of two newcomers to the Little Theatre stage, Barbara Whitmore and Lucien Scott, as Elizabeth and Darcy, gave a richer tone to the pastels of the play and made plausible a love story foreign to a modern audience. Bob Lanning as the "swishy" Collins minced his way through the tea-cups with seraphic aplomb and a nicety of timing that never failed to click. . . . Mary Frances Witwer turned into a completely engaging minx . . . patterned, perhaps, after her mother, Mrs. Bennett, a role giving free play to June Johansen's abilities as a comedienne. . . . Lady Catherine de Bourgh boomed on and off divertingly in the person of Isabelle Booth . . . and Lee Vincent as Mr. Bennett neatlyadded a sane note. . . . But even in such severe competition Barbara and Lucien dominated ... as was right, of course. Not a flawless production, perhaps, but definitely the correct way to open a season!
