...twice refer to the C.D.F. as an "extinct" organization, and claim it "quit several years ago." This is an irresponsible falsehood. The C.D.F. only started in 1956, when it gave three productions: Henry V, a new version of The Beggar's Opera, and Saint Joan. It brought us Emlyn Williams and Marcel Marceau in 1957, two productions by the Theatre National Populaire in 1958, the Vieux-Colombier company and Gielgud's Ages of Man early this year, and is offering three shows this summer. Extinct? No; you, Mr. Capp, are the dodo...

Last produced in Manhattan in 1930, A Month remains one of those small classics that, however long kept in mothballs, keep their charming bouquet. The play needs-as the Phoenix Theater has given it-a sensitive production: Michael Redgrave has ably directed an able cast, and Emlyn Williams' adaptation is in crisply laundered English...
