When the well of adultery runs dry, the authors rush with their buckets to the dripping fount of sentimental stage glamor: the star's dressing room on a great London first night, flowers, hubbub, reminiscing old doorman, tiff between actresses-and, in the midst of all this, the lover's dismissal and the husband's return...
