Larrimore as It's star and Vinton
Freedley as its producer. AS fran
tically paced farce, with Micha Auer
and Millard Mitchell to give it slugs
of adrenalin. the drama gets its
spotty laughs. But clearly, not for
long.
Jacqueline Susann and Beatrice
Cole, authors of The Temporary
Mrs Smith, could have had in mind
that the time was ripe for another
domestic farce like You Can't Take
1t with You" That Is the play
from which they appear to have
borrowed most heavily, although they
have not scrupled to mimic-if that
is the word--many a feverish plot
grown tired in the service of Holly
wood. AS passionate collectors, how
ever, they have come up with MOTH
ing more enticing than an attic
full of vaudeville junk.
This is no way to treat Miss Lar
rimore, who looks as If she were
ready for another one of those
romps which made her the pre-
ferred comedienne of many still
loyal customer. In addition to hav-
ing to compete against vaudeville
. dog sct-which is oddly funny
she Is smothered by such dialogue
as:
~ must get her pedigree"
why not let her, do her own
nails?"
This may not be verbatim, but 1t
is bad enough.
Playwrights Susann and Cole
started off, as altogether too many
other playwrights have, with a
wretchedly decrepit screen star as
their heroine. In the course of be-
coming washed up, she has married
rs odd a bagful of males as cupid
ever carried. They have included
= f1agpole sitter, a fourth-rate road
company press agent and cowboy.
Despite this eccentric taste, Natasha
Smith still Is living on Central Park
South when the first act opens. The
play Is concerned with her efforts to
marry q supposedly rich fellow
tenant before the landlord can toss
the whole Natasha menage across
the street onto a park bench.
In a situation like this, there is
no gag and virtually no character
which cannot be introduced. Direc-
tor Billy Gilbert has introduced
both not only lavishly but with a
sound sense of chaos He literally
makes piles of the firing sirens ex-
husbands on the stage. If that does
not work, and it could not for long,
the resourceful playwrights have
provided him with such other COM
edy material as a convention of the
tail-bumpers club, equipped with
their dogs. Between times, there
are such jesting spectacles as man
trying to learn how to saw women
in half, of the heroine trapped be-
hind the living room furniture with
the machinery Of her makeup going
full blast. bodies falling out Of
closets, and the like.
