The author has adopted the technique of a restoration farce to assemble A fabulous melange of mistaken identity, mechanical effects, slapstick. and a tenuous thine of a widower slyly maneuvered into the toils of a scheming widow. Characters stop now and then to address audience, and there is never the slightest reliance on logic logistics: the thing rolls along merrily and madly and the customers are convulsed. It is almost an impertinence to dissect the plot, since Mr. Wilder would probably insist there is none, but there is at least a workable background involving a prosperous merchant in Yonkers, circa 1880, some menials who slave for him, attractive New York milliner.
and a Mrs. Levi who is by all odds one of the most engaging personalities we've come across since Shirley Booth's last time out. 'This is of course Ruth Gordon, and she's never had 2 better tin.c. is difficult to describe her of the role: there is nothing to indicate just why she rails and swaggers she docs.

It's the midst of a tryout at the National Theater.
Coauthor Henry Denkor And star Arthur Kennedy said in separate interviews they've never had much free advice. Everybody, so, scems, has an idea about POWS and wants to get it on record. No Answer This play does not seek to answer the question of what sort of ground rules the armed forces should set up to deal with Americans who for one reason or another succumb to the Communist line while in prison camp.

we hope to do is to pat the problem before the public and try to illustrato that no one set of rules can apply to all POWS." Kennedy, whit, plays all Army lawyer investigating a POW case, said he is convinced there is no public issue with such a general fascination at this time. Denker and Kennedy recalled numerous times since the play's tryout run began in Columbus, two weeks ago when they were approached in hotel lobb.es by theatergoers who offered this or that suggestion about how to the POW problems presculed in the play. "Everybody has his own ideas," Denker said. "Sonctimes they agree with mine and sometimes they don't." It is largely tor this reason that the play has been going through some intensive rewriting, despite critical praise in the press.
