The Pageantry of PLAYS on George Bernard Shaw on dramatists as young reviewer; “The Road to Rome” by Robert Emmet Sherwood…sparkling dialogue, witty in conception, vivacious characters…sponsored by Brady and Wiman…starring Jane Cowl at her captivating best…Phil Merivale the ideal Hannibal at Playhouse on West 48th; “The Heaven Tappers” by George Scarborough and Annette Westbay…largely hokum and coarse…none of cast could make audience believe a word of the play…with Margaret Lawrence; “Right You Are if You Think You Are” by Luigi Pirandello presented by Theatre Guild…excellent irony and honest laughter…
intellectual holiday interpreted by Reg Mason, Baryl Mercer, Laura Hope Crews, Helen Westley; “Crime” by Sam Shipman and John Hymer, produced by A. H.
