Theatre: 'The Young and Beautiful'
Of the shows which have already closed this season, [The Young and Beautiful] is the only one that I shall (or would wish to) remember. I suppose it is not a good play, but it has some very witty scenes, and the humor is far superior to the standard Broadway article.
