Russet Mantle (by Lynn Riggs; Mayer & Queen, producers) is supposed to concern itself chiefly with a couple of young New Dealers (Martha Sleeper and John Beal), who sound off at length about Changing the System but, by curtain time, have succeeded only in conceiving an illegitimate baby. However, this juvenile and somewhat embarrassing love affair is not the thing which makes Russet Mantle a notable addition to the Broadway season.

This little village is rocked by the industrial turmoil which shook all of Great Britain's industrial villages in in the thirties...
...story of The Little Minister concerns the Scottish village of Thrums and the alarm which overtakes its devout residents when they learn that Mr. Dishart (John Beal), the rector at Auld Licht, has fallen in love with a gypsy.
