It is a genuine pleasure to welcome Edward Goodman back among the producing managers of New York. As founder and managing director of the Washington Square Players it was he who first made the modern art theater a living force among the people. He begins with John Galsworthy's play "The Pigeon," the subtlest and, in its quiet way, the most incisive of the dramatist's works. Here Galsworthy still chooses a special case or, rather, special cases, to illustrate the social problems that trouble him so deeply. But he makes these cases so fundamental that the sociological pattern, a little too visible in certain of his pieces, melts into the larger patterns of the human soul itself. Goodman has given the play a very delicate and intelligent production.
