Roland Young as the murderer-com-poser rides easily through the play, with delightful overtones of comedy, like plucked strings. Kay Johnson (girl-across-the-hall) and the rest of the well-matched company are capital, particularly the lovely Grethe Ruzt-Nissen in a dance pantomime to Deems Taylor's bright, soap-bubble music. In a smoothly varied performance Woodman Thompson's staccato, expressionistic sets behave better than in Roger Bloomer. (TIME, March...
...excites the sympathy of the audience, especially when he is sitting around waiting to be murdered. At this juncture the stupidity of the detectives reaches its climax; ordinary common-sense would have saved Stockbridge as eventually it saved the daughter.

The translation by Louise Collier Willcox is fairly adequate though sometimes erratic. SINBAD−C. Kay Scott-Seltzer ($2.00). Greenwich Village−studio-parties− pseudo-intellectuals whose amatory affairs are as tangled as a pile of jackstraws−burbles about Art−neuroses and inhibitions−take-offs on prominent Village characters, et cetera, et cetera. All well enough done−with tact, occasional...
