Kibbee Returns to Stage
At Schubert-Lafayette

After spending 14 years in
the cinema capital of the world,
Hollywood, Guy Kibbee returned
to the stage on May 14 at the
Shubert Lafayette Theater in
"The Old Soak".
"The Old Soak," as typical
American in form and content
as any play ever written, is a
comedy with just enough drama
that while seeming small in its
way, sometimes conventional in
tile run of things, to the point
of upsetting some intellectuals,
who disagree on the subject mat-
ter, is grand entertainment for
the multitudes.
