This week, while celebrating his 50th birthday, the greatest collaborator of his time can look back on a career in the theatre that would be spectacular in a man of 100. Kaufman's current collaboration with Moss Hart, The Man Who Came to Dinner (TIME, Oct. 30), is one of the biggest smash hits of the last ten years. Kaufman's unequaled record: at least one show on Broadway every year since 1921. Fifteen of those shows Burns Mantle has included in various annual volumes of the Best Plays.

The medicos will be able to give more definite information on his status today. In the mean-time, a lively scrap is going on between Vern Miller and Pete Elser for second ranking at the left tackle post...
...comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman entitled "The Man Who Came to Dinner" opened its two weeks engagement at the Plymouth last evening; the title sounds laborious, but the humor is uproarious, and the entertainment glorious. In short, the boys who wrote "You Can't Take It With You" have not lost their touch...
