New Play in Manhattan

I Like It Here (by A. B. Shiffrin; produced by William Cahn) is a trying little comedy that wobbles from weakness when not hobbling from age. It plumps down a resourceful refugee (Oscar Karlweis) as houseman in a professor's none-too-happy home.

The professor's bossy wife, having long ago henpecked her husband, is now hitching her daughter to a snooty young politician, though the girl loves a struggling young lawyer. The houseman, when not busy with the dusting or the drinks, plays Mr. Fix-it--wades into politics, works on the professor's morale, and saves the day for love.

I Like It Here has one real asset: Refugee Actor Karlweis (Rosalinda, Jacobowsky and the Colonel). His engaging personality and amusing ways reduce what might have been torture to no worse than tedium.
