...authors of "Boy Meets Girl" have turned an amusing newspaper yarn into a play that is as illogical and hilarious as most of their writings. An ace correspondent (William Gaxton) undertakes to win for his chief (Edward H. Robbins) the job of ambassador to Russia by discrediting the incumbent, Alonzo P. ("My friends call me 'Stinky'") Goddhe, who is portrayed by Victor Moore.

Just opened at Andover's starchy, Georgian, richly-endowed Addison Gallery of American Art was the first comprehensive exhibition in New England of paintings by the late Maurice Prendergast and his brother, Charles, now 70. The Prendergasts were Boston boys whom Boston never bothered to honor.
