This article presents information about dramas that are being staged in the U.S. "Room Service" happens to be the kind of play which even the spectator who has laughed himself sick will find it difficult to describe. For one thing a very great deal depends upon the unfailing inventiveness and verve of George Abbott's direction. For another a great deal more depends upon three of the actors who helped to make "Three Men on a Horse" a masterpiece of the same mad kind. Some of the funniest incidents are concerned with the passionate attachment of one of the characters to a stuffed moose head and with his heroic refusal to sacrifice it at a hock shop.
