gamut of expression. II is one OF
the characteristic dramas of modern
New York life In which the gifted
young playwright, unfortunately cut
off In his prime made a distinctive
place for himself in American dra-
matte literature that no successor has

deity. And no American playwright
has ever shown such intimate realiza-
ton OF the complexities of feminine
nature He got right down into The
very hearts and souls of women.
Clyde Fitch wrote many clever
comedies that sparkied with wit and
stung with satire-plays as delicate
as bit OF old lace. But when he
grappled the big, throbbing domestic
problem OF wife's duty, the basis
of The Woman In the Case" he pro.
duced his most Accordingly dramatic
and human play--one that is as grip
ping today as 1t was a few years ago
when the late Blanche Walsh and
: Helen Ware faced each other in the
