In this article, the author presents information on various plays and their makers and performers. At first, he focuses on a drama called "Dame Nature" which dramatist, Patricia Collinge, has translated from the French and the Theater Guild produced at the Booth Theater. The story of this play is concerned with a French schoolboy who finds himself the father of a child by a fifteen-year-old girl. The author has avoided both melodrama and the psychology of sex in order to imagine a sort of idyl. This play was performed by Jessie Royce Landis as the vain mother of that schoolboy. Another play, considered here, is Clare Booth's "Kiss the Boys Goodbye," performed at Henry Miller Theater.
