The article focuses on the drama "It's a Grand Life." In the first act Austin Tyler is brought home injured in a night automobile accident in which he has been accompanied by his new lady secretary. "It's a Grand Life" is, for the most part, a successful light comedy. The lines supplied by its authors, Hatcher Hughes and Alan Williams, are always intelligent; some of them are genuinely witty. In an another play "Dishonored Lady," based by Margaret Ayer Barnes and Edward Sheldon on the case of Madeline Smith of Glasgow, Katharine Cornell brilliantly portrays a woman who poisons the lover who, through threatened blackmail, has tried to force her to continue their relationship
