This sounds more like a nursery game than a play; yet as a game it is likely to fill the Savoy for a long time with people ...
... RARE, these days, are anonymous novels, but here is one. To Madame Solario (Heinemann, 15s.) mystery attaches-- who is the author? It seems, moreover, the work of a practised hand.

A lively-minded American girl marries a foreigner with a taste for moving about the world: promising formula for a travel book, and producing here something of unusual style and quality.

... Adelbhi This twice-nightly revue is very much an i Anglo-French-American occasion. Tommy Trinder puts his comedy over with the friendliest professional gusto, Patachou s sings for Paris, Pinky Lee is endearingly individual, and choreography is designed by the suitably-named George Tapps. i ijjjjvjuujuj WNWXXX> j REVIEWS ...

For statisticians the long ...
