What you’re looking at

This page reviews contemporary theatrical productions. The text discusses several plays: **"The Accused"** examines whether a lawyer should defend a woman accused of infidelity, raising questions about professional integrity versus personal sympathy. **"A Holy Terror"** features George Abbott as a character willing to endure tedious stretches of friendship-focused drama. **"Applesauce"** by Allan Dinehart is criticized as a collection of marriage-related jokes that, while pleasant, offers little substance—characters merely "dragging in by the heels" tired material. **"The Bridge of Distances"** at the International Playhouse is noted as Chinese-themed and sound-sleeping (possibly meaning boring or requiring audience patience). The small decorative cartoons are generic theatrical flourishes rather than specific political satire, typical of Life's drama section formatting.
