...Fancy Meeting You Again" is a very funny play, undoubtedly the funniest to come to Boston so far this season. It is the work of a master craftsman, George S. Kaufman (and his wife, Leueen MacGrath), and throughout the three acts the deft touches of a successful playwright are evident...
...High Ground (by Charlotte Hastings; produced by Albert H. Rosen) would be a better whodunit if it were more of one-if it kept its mind on murder. It has a certain novelty of atmosphere and attack: it tells of a gifted young painter (Leueen MacGrath) who has been condemned to hang for poisoning her brother, and who is forced by floods-while being taken to prison-to spend some time at a convent.

Only Francis Poulenc's music catches the proper note of magic...
