Comedy

THE GUARDSMAN--Luxurious nonsense about a great actor sheep who arrayed himself in seducer wolf's disguise to test his wife's fidelity. Molnar's play, Theatre Guild production, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in the brilliant leads.

GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE--Chiefly Ina Claire. Her personal pyrotechnics more than suffice to disguise the fact that to divorce and remarry a husband in three acts is an imaginative wrench.

THE FARMER'S WIFE--Mr. and Mrs Coburn in a robustly amusing comedy of rural England by Eden Phillpotts. Whom should a widower marry at the age of 52?

CLOSE HARMONY--Mediocrity in the suburbs brought poignantly to life by Dorothy Parker and Elmer Rice. Proving that a retired chorus girl is better than a nagging wife.

MINICK--Another tale of mediocrity, told this time of an old man who came to live in his daughter's household and found it would not work.

THE SHOW-OFF -- Glorifying the great American loud speaker. You all know him --the man who talks so loudly and so long he has no time for toil.

THE FIREBRAND--Benvenuto Cellini turned into modern bedroom farce, the infidelities of a duchess and general irreverence toward the times of wigs, tights and swordplay.
