New Play in Manhattan

Kiss and Tell (by F. Hugh Herbert; produced by George Abbott) is a funny play about kid stuff in war time. Though Playwright Herbert's characters are obvious types, he has been busy with a stencil sharpener. The whole thing is given a first-rate George Abbott workout, lickety-splitting from family comedy to suburban chaos.

The Pringles (outraged parents of deb-age Mildred) are feuding with the Archers (proud parents of Lieut. Lenny and Junior Miss Corliss) because Mrs. Archer called Mildred a "tramp." While the pappies get to punching each other's noses, Lenny and Mildred elope, confiding only in Corliss. Lenny goes overseas, Mildred discovers she is to have a baby, and Corliss--who has been seen with Mildred at the doctor's and is sworn "in blood" to secrecy--pretends that the baby is hers. Mr. & Mrs. Archer have a bad time for an act, but the audience has a fine one.
