THE UNKINDEST CUT
A marked exception was the
comment of Columnist Danton
Walker, of the New York Daily
News, who used a bludgeon'
Said Mr.. Walker:
Alexander WoOllcott, when he
was a commentator for tn c
Broadway scene, used to delight
in taking apart the Theater
Guild for producing what he
described as "fiddle-faddle." And
now we find Mr.. WOOllcOtt act
ing for the Theater Guild in one
of the worst pieces of fiddle
faddle of this or several seasons;
Irefer to S. N. Behrman'S "Wine
of Choice" in which we find the
usual Behrman characters belly
aching about life, but making no
suggestions for improving it.
Why Mr.. WOOllcOtt, who is one
of the first writer's of his time,
should prefer to become third,
rate actor in a fOurth-rate play
is beyond me. He may feel that
he is contributing something to
the stage, but all he succeeds in
doing is to make a spectacle of
himself. When Mr.. WOOllcOtt
was a drama critic, he could GER
tainly give it. Now that he is
an actor, 1 hope he can take
it,
This is highly amusing, be
