Ladies and Gentlemen (produced by Gilbert Miller; by Ben Hecht & Charles MacArthur from a play by Ladislaus Bush-Fekete) brings Near-Divinity Helen Hayes back to Broadway in her first new role there since December 1935. For this Broadway can rejoice, even though finding anything to rejoice at in the play itself is like looking for a needle in a Hayestack. After a two-month tryout, this thing of shreds & patches is still, like Gaul, divided into three parts-comedy, drama, romance -and, as in Gaul, the three parts are on very uncivil terms...
Ladies and Gentlemen (by Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, from a play by Ladislaus Bush-Fekete; produced by Gilbert Miller). Decade ago the late Minnie Maddern Fiske huffed, barked, flounced her way through a typical virtuoso's vehicle, Ladies of the Jury.

Last summer hopes of this school appeared to be borne out in an exhibition of fresh experimental work by its students (TIME, July 11). But last month opening day came and Chicago's New Bauhaus did not reopen. Neither chunky Director Moholy-Nagy nor his backers, the supposedly well-heeled Association of Arts & Industries, would say anything except to their lawyers until last week. Then Moholy-Nagy sued...
They seemed so bizarre that hard-working Director Ladislaus Moholy-Nagy thought long before he decided to let the public examine them. But visitors who studied explanations of the work, discovered that the exhibit made sense, got a good insight into the methods by which Moholy-Nagy and his associates hope to revitalize U. S. architecture and U. S. design...
