This article presents information on theater person Ed Wynn. Wynn's show, "Boys and Girls Together" at the Broadhurst Theater is the best that he ever appeared in and as delightful an evening of sheer fun as it is possible to imagine. It is not, God forbid that he has developed any new style or method: he is the same amiably incompetent master of ceremonies, pathetically eager to establish a rapport with his audience and only vaguely aware that he is not making his point or achieving the results intended, the same incurably hopeful enthusiast miraculously muddling through and eternally surprised both at the difficulties in which he gets involved and at the lucky chances that enable him to get out of them.
