It seems that Heavenly, the Boss's daughter, contracted a disease from Chance years ago and had to have a hysterectomy. In scenes of bogus dramaturgy, Boss Finley and his children snarl revelations at each other (e.g., he keeps a mistress) that should have been common family knowledge for years. Toward play's end, in a scene made memorable through Actress Page's brilliant use of that feeblest of theatrical inventions, the telephone, Ariadne de Lago learns that Hollywood wants her back...
