Regrettably the part can spoil the whole. When the play concerns itself only with marital exchanges, everyone is visibly more comfortable. Coward handles this type of misadventure with a high style which makes even the exposition glitter. Miss Fontanne is an actress of this same style and so is rewarded with the best of the play's dialogue. Or perhaps she merely makes it seem the best; she is capable of that deception...
More Sinned Against. But by other members of the sex, The Slob is more amiably known as a Don Juan. ("Done one!" punned a Broadway actress. "He's done 'em all.") He is a hit with the ladies, moreover, despite the fact that (as one of his girls panted) "he does things to you in public that you hardly expect even in private."

Her children caught fire. "She was a wonderful, wonderful woman," says daughter Jocelyn, now a Broadway actress (Mister Roberts), "with a great capacity for understanding and giving." Marlon, says Jocelyn, was "a blond, fat-bellied little boy, quite serious and very...
...young to have seen what he writes about except from his pram, plainly loves the thing he kills, fondles every last insipidity and cliche and gives them a kind of nitwitted charm. He is well served by the production and in particular by pretty, 19-year-old Actress Andrews. Very funny as a mincing, mousy-blonde ingenue, she is yet-without ever stepping out of character-an extremely winning and attractive girl...
