...house. She is then called a dhyanty and has a good deal of latitude about her choice of lovers. Should she elect to remarry, however, her new set of husbands must pay the first set of husbands a sum which is fixed by the village council. Since an individual suitor is rarely able to afford paying off several husbands, a dhyanty usually has to marry another group of brothers...
...Gilded Ghetto." When Margie is not coping with her dilemma, she is occupied with shyster theatrical producers, a pedestrian suitor named Dr. Shapiro, and the diehard devotion of little Wally Wronken.

John Fenn, as the psychosomatically ill suitor, was amusing, although he sometimes twitched about more embarrassingly than humorously. Dick Merlo heartily fulfilled the part of the father, but Laura Pincus, as Natalia, contributed little more than her presence on the stage. Nevertheless, Marriage Proposal was moderately successful as a brief entertainment...
