"Baby, if you had a dog, I'd love the dog," says Moe Axelrod, the family satisfied businessman with little concern for family or boarder, to Hennie, whom he loves.

Her voice, her rich, perfectly controled voice is meant for more than small stages in close auditoriums. Her flat-footed progression across the boards is comedy. If, and forgive me for this fussy stipulation, only if Miss Durkin is off-stage what she is on, I should like to marry her. I might not have included this declaration in these columns but for a standing belief...
