...will be more than justified, for Mr. Hodge believes that in "The Guest of Honor" he has the happiest vehicle of many seasons. It is a typical American play for a typical American actor, who, as usual, has surrounded himself with a group of admirable players including: Jennie Lamont, Miriam McCauley, Jane Miller, Jane Houston, Katherine Brook, Graham Lucas. Scott Cooper, Brigham Royce, George Lund, Howard Morgan, Charles W. Butler, J. Albert Hall, David A. Leonard, and George Syndham...
