Best Bets on Broadway

"There Shall Be No Night." Robert Sherwood's indignant protest against the invasion of Finland, enriched with powerful acting by the Lunts (TIME, May 13).

Ladies in Retirement. A good, hard hitting English melodrama, with Flora Robson making a name for herself as a murderess (TIME, April 8).

Lady in Waiting. Comedienne Gladys George, extremely amusing in a farce that would go to pieces without her (TIME, April 8).

The Male Animal. James Thurber's in sane humor turns a play-that-is-no-play into a gay evening (TIME, Jan. 22).

The New Hellzapoppin. Against stupendous odds, Hellzapoppin 11 manages to be even more deafening and demented than Hellzapoppin 1 (TIME, Dec. 25).

Du Barry Was a Lady. Regulation musicomedy at its rawest and most resplendent, with Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman at their brightest and best (TIME, Dec. 18).

Life With Father. Gay, sometimes hilarious saga of a rambunctious pater familias during Manhattan's horsecar era (TIME, Nov. 20).

Margin for Error. Clare Boothe's lively anti-Nazi melodrama, spiced with satirical wisecracks (TIME, Nov. 13).

The Man Who Came to Dinner. Kaufman & Hart's very unflattering, very funny take-off on Alexander Woollcott (TIME, Oct. 30).
