Best Bets on Broadway

My Dear Children. The once great John Barrymore cutting up in a play burlesquing his own life, and pathetically ad-libbing in the past (TIME, Feb. 12).

Juno and the Paycock. Revival of Sean O'Casey's gutbustingly funny, heartbreakingly tragic Irish drama (TIME, Jan. 29).

The Male Animal. James Thurber's insane humor turns a play-that-is-no-play into a gay evening in the theatre (TIME, Jan. 22).

The New Hellzapoppin. Against stupendous odds, Hellzapoppin II manages to be even more deafening and demented than Hellzapoppin I (TIME, Dec. 25).

Du Barry Was a Lady. Regulation musicomedy at its rawest and most resplendent, with Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman at their brightest and best (TIME, Dec. 18).

Life with Father. Gay, sometimes hilarious saga of a rambunctious paterfamilias during Manhattan's horsecar era (TIME, Nov. 20).

Margin for Error. Clare Boothe's lively anti-Nazi melodrama spiced with satirical wisecracks (TIME, Nov. 13).

The Time of Your Life. William Saroyan's tender, boozy picture of life in a waterfront honky-tonk (TIME, Nov. 6).

The Man Who Came to Dinner. Kaufman & Hart's very unflattering but very funny take-off on Alexander Woollcott (TIME, Oct. 30).

Too Many Girls. Musicomedy of college life, full of George Abbott liveliness and Rodgers & Hart lilt (TIME, Oct. 30).
