The American playwright has at last waked up to the fact that there is such a thing as Feminism in the air. With his unerring instinct for the superficial but theatrically effective aspects of the movement, he has set up the new ideas on marriage as a profitable target for his merry quips. Dramatist Bernard Shaw last year started the stream with "Getting Married," and followed it this year with "Misalliance," in which marriage comes in for its incidental share of the author's brilliant mockery. In "A Madonna of the Future" Alan Dale's abandonment of his heroine is even more flagrant.
