Private Lives has an exotic origin, an erotic icing, and a moronic plot which forces director Peter D. Arnott and his chief actors, William Franklin Hutson and Jan Lewis, to scramble desperately to salvage a basically nebbish play. Noel Coward, the first English playwright to introduce Henry Ford's assembly line production techniques to theater, wrote the comedy in 1930 while in Shanghai seemingly to pose a challenge: Who could take his featherweight literary sedative about marriage and sex in English high society and transform it into an exciting and riotous evening's entertainment? The Tufts Summer Theater company...
Noel Coward himself acted in the London production of Private Lives is the 1930's (as Elyot), and he found it a trying, though successful, experience: "It was more tricky and full of pitfalls than anything I have ever attempted as an actor." Hutson and Lewis, as Elyot and Amanda, are a sharp, strong, and attractive duo who avoid most of Coward's worst pitfalls--abysmal dialogue, kitschy scenes, and trite psychology--and maximize Coward's well hidden strengths--the parody of English manners and social institutions, the art of verbal thrust and counterthrust, the sharp criticism of women...
...more teams included the pass among the weapons in their arsenals. Still, brilliant passers, brilliant receivers-and brilliant passing combinations-were few and far between.

Mrs. Hutson suffered from two abnormalities: her system would make antibody to destroy blood cells carrying the common Rh factor known as "D," which her husband has, and which her expected baby would have. Worse, she would also make antibody against factors...
...Bank. The Temple doctors decided that somehow they must have compatible blood on hand for the delivery. Dr. Molthan took a pint of Mrs. Hutson's own blood and stored it. She cabled South Africa, and back by refrigerated air freight came a pint of Mrs. Shabalala's blood. Said Mrs. Shabalala, a darkroom technician in Johannesburg: "The doctor had to talk to me for a long time before I agreed to give blood-it is a procedure entirely foreign to the normal African." At Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Richard Rosenfield alerted a Puerto Rican...
