Part of Nathan's series, produced in the 1940s, in which he (ostensibly) reviews the Broadway offerings of the prior season. There are times when Nathan gets to be a frightful windbag, going on and on about Broadway history. A chunk of the humour (though not all of it) is forced, and there are times when you feel he's in pulling-wings-off-butterflies mode (especially when one musical offering takes a pot-shot at him -- well deserved, says I). About the only value here is when he encounters some historical offering, like Brigadoon (which he liked, in spite of it having things he doesn't like -- but then he promptly all-but-accuses the authors of plagiarism) or Annie Get Your Gun (not very enthusiastic about this, in my reading). Strictly for theatre buffs and historians.… (mere)

"Allah Be Praised" has the line from Cy Howard about abandoning the play and keeping the store open at nights, and Nathan takes ghoulish glee in putting down a CPA that apparently had the temerity to actually try and write and produce a play (just try that today).

Not quite as good as some of the later entries, in terms of information (such as how long each production played on Broadway), and some of the digressions can be a bit tedious at times. Other digressions do provide interesting information. Good for Broadway historians. (My copy had theatre ticket stubs glued in by a previous owner who had seen some of the productions.)
