Last week, after interviewing more than 40 senior executives from every corner of the nation, Karr ended his talent quest.

For it boasts Ethel Merman, who is known to be fun no matter what she appears in. Happy Hunting proves it: as musicomedy, it is more than just not out of the top drawer, it is from a discontinued line of furniture. Even what is most up to date about the show-its background of the Grace Kelly wedding-is satirically, by now, down to peanuts...
