"The Joyous Season," Philip Barry's new play at the Belasco Theater, is not a particularly joyous event. Preliminary announcements implied that it would reveal a new enthusiasm for the Catholic church on the part of the author, and there was even a suggestion that if taken in conjunction with "Days Without End" it might be considered as evidence of a religious renaissance. Unfortunately, however, that renaissance will now have to wait. Eugene O'Neill's play at least made the heathen rage and may conceivably embody merits not evident to the unbeliever, but "The Joyous Season" can hardly seem better than milk and water to even the most enthusiastic Christian.
