Drama
Marshall, Margaret | April 29, 1944 issue

The article focuses on the plays "But Not Goodbye," "Pretty Little Parlor" and "Sheppey." "But Not Goodbye" is the best of the lot because it is so very unassuming. It will probably have a good run. It doesn't invite criticism. It is well acted by a cast which includes Harry Carey, Elizabeth Patterson and J. Pat O'Malley. Playwrights take vacations too and one cant help feeling that W. Somerset Maugham wrote the play "Sheppey." It seems unlikely that he would dare offer so blatant a collage of warmed-over clichés of situation, characterization, except to an audience that was way off the railroad.
