Night Music (by Clifford Odets; produced by The Group Theatre). Clifford Odets, of all people, has suddenly decided that life's a pretty swell thing. He used to be grimly up on the barricades; in Night Music he gaily rides a carrousel. He used to pump lead into Old Glory; in Night Music he almost gets round to waving her.

It is not to be confused with Washington Merry-Go-Round, which Columbia will presently release, although it contains a shot of a carrousel against the background of the Capitol. It is an adaptation by John Meehan and Samuel Blythe of Author Henri Bernstein's play The Claw. To give the plot pertinence in a presidential year, the scene is Washington instead of Paris, but Lionel Barrymore's role...
