The article focuses on the play "The Glass Menagerie." It is not often that a first play, indeed, it is not often that any play gets such a reception as "The Glass Menagerie" got from audience and from press alike. After the final curtain had descended, the unfamiliar cry of "Author! Author!" rang through the auditorium and next morning reviewers staged what is commonly called a dance in the streets. Undoubtedly some of the enthusiasm was for the acting and the production, especially for the performance of Laurette Taylor, who got everything that was to be had from the character of the pitiful and terrible old woman who is the central figure.
