...find at the Hollis, where the Theatre Guild is opening its Boston season, that Lynn Fontanne has nothing to do. The play is "Meteor", by S. N. Behrman, who wrote "The Second Man" and "Serena Blandish". And though Miss Fontanne is in it, on the stage, in fact, for a good part of it, she is a distinct second fiddle.

The first is an attempt to make the Soviets appear a group of irresponsible brigands with whom orderly intercourse is impossible; as a matter of fact, they have simply pointed out the impossibility of talking debts with a nation that refuses to recognize the government it wants to talk to, and urge that the United States first grant recognition so that orderly intercourse will be possible. As for the second...
