...recipients of this startling news are the Glad Gladwyns (Fred Allen and Ginger Rogers), a Mr. & Mrs. breakfast team, who address each other by such endearing terms as "panther girl" and "white fang" when they are not being lovey-dovey on the air, dispensing commercials and "good, clean, nauseating fun"; a flouncy blonde (Zsa Zsa Gabor) who is trying to dig all the gold she can from her Texas-tycoon husband (Louis Calhern); a laconic Long Island couple (Paul Douglas and Eve Arden) who communicate with each other only in monosyllables; Mrs. Mississippi (Marilyn Monroe), a bathing-beauty contest winner...

It was the 56th annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers. The presence of Ginger Rogers, addressing a room jam-packed with delegates' wives (and a few furtive men), wasn't the only new thing about this year's N.A.M. convention.

Love and Let Love (by Louis Verneuil; produced by Anthony B. Farrell) is a vehicle for Ginger Rogers' first Broadway appearance in 21 years. It is a sort of bicycle built for two-both for being sadly out of date, and for letting Ginger play a glamorous actress and, in one scene, her sister, who has always taken a back seat. The actress has almost-but never quite -married many men, because her heart belongs to her first love (Tom Helmore). Discovering this, her middle-aged fiance (Paul McGrath) turns into a Mr. Fixit.
