Comedy
BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK -- Sporty spring practice by the waggish Kaufman and Connelly, tackling the tired business man as a dummy.
FATA MORGANA--Cynically smart study of the city siren practicing on the country swain for one night only, leaving him with nothing but his blushes.
THE SHOW-OFF--A gorgeous satire of the eternal boob, casting himself for his favorite role of the leading man.
THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH--The younger generation cordially given a chance to redeem themselves and extend a little benevolent paternalism to their elders.
THE POTTERS--A quaintly comic cross-section of the American home, complete down to quarrels and oil investments.
CYRANO DE BERGERAC--Rostand's superb heroics taking wing from Walter Hampden as the poet with a nose and a conscience.
THE SWAN--Wearing the royal purple of high comedy, with an exceptional company putting a princely house through its paces.
THE NERVOUS WRECK --Western farce that is piercingly funny despite its uproar and general debris.
