Here is a play with the rare distinc-

less than the public, thing that hap
pens about once in a generation. "Sev-

in the Scrap Book, lis the best farce

This play combines more good points
than any / have ever seen in all my
years of theater going. First and
foremost, it is funny, not in spots but
all the way through" When a maya
zine writer lets himself go in that
fashion the play must be wonder.
And it is, judging not alone from the

writer who has set down about 1t, and
from what everybody has said who
