First Of ALI consider the author.
Avery Hopwood, VINO wrote lots of
things that have gone big. Then
consider the fact that Lynne Over

He's been called "'the best light
comedian" on the stage. So do we.

more. consider that Eileen Wilson has

and that the rest Of the Garrickers
are unusually well cast.
So. there you are.
And here's another little thing
there's a bedroom in the comedy. Now
wait a minute; don't throw your
hands aloft in holy horror-because the
play isn't half as naughty as you'd
think. OF course, IL you like that
kind of comedy. you can find 1t in
the lines. But IL you don't. let one
who haN seen the play-and enjoyed
it-assure you that you'll not be even
one little bit offended.
The plot is crammed full of oppoP-
tunities for laughs. Herbie has a
little wife whose speed is more than
fast. She likes men-she likes them
altogether too much to please Herbie.
SO Herbie has his friend Bobo Brown
ask her to Bobo's apartment for a
midnight supper, just to see how
far she'll go.
Then Bobo's sweet fancee gets
! mixed in. and arrives at the apart
ment, too. And so does a Mrs. DR..
Eliot, who thinks she's going to get
something on her husband. And then
HeEbie gets suspicious, too, and de-
cldes to see for himself what's going
on in Bobo's apartment.
Do things happen?
Oh, no!

but very little besides-there are ex-
plantations and discoveries all around,
and finally all ends happily. But is
Herbie's wife cured of her propensity
for liking men? Just see that finish!
Lynne Overman, as Bobo, is a
scream from start to finish. When
he gets into hot water. being a per-
fectly proper young man and ap-
parently unused TO the ways of the
wicked women, his comedy is excruci-
ating.
Eileen Wilson. as Mrs. Herble War
rem. has a part in which she duplicates
her original success with the Gar
rickers. Earle Foxe does some eX-
celIent work as her husband. while
Doris Sheerin. Tony Hodges, William
Pringle, Grace Peters, and the others
must come in for their share of the
praise for a noteworthy performance.
