Just before curtain time, a member of the audience took the stage. He wore a dark blazer, his goatee was white as a light bulb, his hearing aid seemed to be made of sterling silver. The invited audience-a collector's treasure of florists, bellhops, desk clerks, Schrafft's waitresses, Western Union girls and airline hostesses fell politely silent. Frederick Alden ("Perky") Warren, the man onstage, was their host. He had bought every seat in off-Broadway's Sheridan Square Playhouse to take them to the long-running (seven months) revival of Jerome Kern's Leave...

Curtis meanwhile finds time to forsake female impersonation long enough to quick-change into yachting cap and blazer, and woo Marilyn with a fairly good impersonation of Cary Grant. At the end, boy wins girl, and old boy is still hotly pursuing his falsied Lemmon...
