...traditional plot to add spectator-interest. The background is supplied by the stuffed figures of Raleigh, Cecil, Bacon. Although the season's first appearance of the Theatre Guild's famed Lunt & Fontanne is a perennial signal for critical hosannas, Elizabeth The Queen remains the sort of thing worst done by high school dramatic clubs, best done by the Guild. The Vanderbilt Revue. There are comparatively few funnywomen, none of whom are funnier than hearty, contagious, coarse Lulu McConnell.
