This article focuses on the theatrical production "Hooray for What," by Ed Wynn. The author says that he had never found Wynn has never been funnier than he is in "Hooray for What" at the Winter Garden. At least it is safe to predict that anyone who has ever liked him before will like him here, and a heavy load of apprehension lifted from my heart when he demonstrated, as he very quickly did, that the years of ungrateful struggle on the radio had left no traces. All the old eagerness is still there; so also are the old earnestness and the old genius for committing the worst blunders at the very moment when he is trying hardest to get through a room or a sentence with the minimum of mishaps.
