Right Sequence. Instead, Gover offers what at first seems to be some blessed burlesque relief. In a comic will-she-or-won't-she seduction scene, the clever reporter, taking time out from the case, is cossetted, cozened and finally totally defeated by a sumptuous, fluff-headed salesgirl who is canny enough to keep the only two ideas she ever had-marriage and bed-in their proper sequence. Given today's liberal standards and the girl's palpably provocative evasions, a reader is likely to find himself lightheartedly rooting for the reporter. The doings and undoings, anyway...

It has not significantly changed over the past decade...
...much of a point to win. The entire rhubarb, after all, was about nothing but money. The Broadway theater is indeed not dying. But it is not living very meaningfully either. At some expense to serious drama, it calculatedly emphasizes entertainment; but much of its chosen fluff fails utterly to entertain. When truly superior work comes along, it will always achieve Broadway production...
