The three plays, “Dream
Girl,” “Made In Heaven,” and
“Kiss and Tell,” which are
scheduled to appear here, have
all received high praise from
drama crntics in all theatrical
centers where they have ap
peared.
Lewis Nichols, reporting for
the New York Times stated,
“ ‘Dream Girl’ is an engag

jure sell-out for months to

tivatmg and enchanting com

gear.” And Claudia Cassidy of
the Chicago Tribune reported,
“This play adds up to an eve
ning on enchanted isles.”
Of “Made in Heaven,” the hil
lariously funny comedy by Ha
gar Wilde, produced last season
in New York by John Golden,
the New York News has this to
say, “John Golden knows a hit
when he sees one. He’s done it
again with ‘Made in Heaven’
and the comedy had the audi
ence rolling in the aisles.” Said
Robert Garland in the N. Y.
Mirror, “ ‘Made in Heaven’ is
a must on your playgoing list.
It rolls along at a terrific pace.
A gay, witty and amusing eve
ning in the theatre.” And the
N. Y. Post stated. “Delightfully
sophisticated comedy. A true
picture of the humorous side of
marital life.”
“Kiss and Tell has been ac
claimed by critics from coast to
coast and the consensus of opin
ion is that it is the funniest
comedy written in a decade.
Walter Winchell reports, “I
have seen ‘Kiss and Tell’ many
times - as it was originally done
in New York, as a movie and in
little theatres and communitv
groups and I alwavs leave the
theatre with a feeling of exhila
ration. No matter how many
times I see this play, its humor
and attractiveness never grow
old. In fact, like old wine, it im
proves with age.”
Under the sponsorship of the
Wilmginotn Business and Pro
fessional Women’s Club, these
three plays are to be presented
on January 6, Febsuaty 17. and
April 16.

Sorosis Women
Hear Review
Of New Novel
Before a large number of
Sorosis members and their
friends, Mrs. W. M. Hibbs re
told the inspiring and exciting
story set forth by Lion FeuchV
wanger in his new historical
novel, “Proud Destiny.” The re
view was on the program of
the Sorosis Literature depart
ment meeting Thursday.
Mrs. Hibbs, in an interesting
manner described the court of
Louis XVI of France, the gay
reckless court which had not yet
suffered from the revolts by
liberty loving peoples.
She told of Feuchtwanger’s
description of Benjamin Frank
lin, who had been sent to France
by the American Revolutionists
to pit his wisdom and patience
against the subtle and devious
French diplomacy of the time.
Finally after making her au
dience relive the lives of
characters like beautiful and
willful Antoinette, simple Louis
XVI, sarcastic Voltaire and the
rest of the court circle, she de
scribed how Louis XVI of France
was maneuvered into a Treaty
of Alliance with the young
American Republic, which was
after all the signing of the death
warrant of his royal house.
Prior to the book review, Mrs.
Louis Hanson, chairman of the
music department introduced
Mrs. W. B. Bellois, v/^ sang
two numbers accompanied by
Henri Emurian.
The meeting was under the
leadership of Mrs. A. B. Love,
chairman of the literature de
partment.
