...famous Parisian troupe, headed by a famous acting couple-Madeleine Renaud and Jean-Louis Barrault-paid their first visit to Broadway. Offering chefs d'oeuvres variés-Shakespeare, Marivaux, Molière-as well as novelties and knickknacks, they particularly scored with their lighter, wittier, most Gallic productions, revealed Director-Actor-Pantomimist Barrault as one of the theater's most agile minds and bodies.

But all the time he progresses in the field of livestock, he is tethered to that stock character of all cowtowns, a prostitute with a heart of gold. Gallic is slim and blonde and high-breasted, and it was love for both from the first time he paid cash on the barrelhead. When Lat becomes a big man, it is plain that Gallic will not do. But the educated niece of a prosperous storekeeper will and does...
