...boards of an English-speaking theatre is traditionally the signal for drama critics to begin behaving like racehorse handicappers. For when an actor goes as Prince to Elsinore he invites comparison with the past performances of flashy favorites. Last week able John Gielgud appeared on Broadway in Guthrie McClintic's Hamlet. True to tradition, play-reviewers threw down their programs, rushed to their form books to weigh Mr. Gielgud's worth against every Hamlet from Barrymore, Forbes-Robertson and Irving to Booth and Burbadge. Consensus seemed to be that next month, when the reviewers sit in judgment...

The Mellons own a clear 50% of Koppers' stock, Mr. Marshall 16%, Mr. McClintic 9%, the Rust family about...
Winterset (by Maxwell Anderson: Guthne McClintic, producer). Playwright Anderson makes a practice of reworking old themes. His notion that a nation deserves the Government it gets was put to prose in Both Your Houses which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1933; put to poetry in Valley Forge, which won him a critical A for Effort. In 1928 Playwright Anderson became agitated about the Sacco-Vanzetti case, collaborated with Harold Hickerson on an indignant defense of the accused called Gods of the Lightning. With that celebrated cause still in mind, Mr. Anderson has now fashioned Winterset...
