...appearances on the Manhattan stage. Twice, with strenuous and pathetic spasms, like a fish in the grass, it flopped. There was a fairly unanimous feeling that the play would have lasted longer had it been played with more cunning and dexterity. When it became known that Richard Bird and Vivian Tobin were to appear in a second revival, theatregoers anticipated something that might brighten the last long week in Lent...
