Stage Door
by George Simon Kaufman, George S Kaufman, Edna Ferber

"Stage Door is smart and slick and glib and it is a relief to see such professional skillfulness in a season that has so far seen it so rarely."

— Richard Wats, Jr., The New York Herald Tribune

"For the time being George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber are standing guard at the Stage Door in a comedy bearing that title and put on at the Music Box last evening. Some years ago in The Royal Family they fired a salute in honor of the theatre and the mad folks who keep the theatres lighted. In Stage Door they are taking a quick glance at the same subject through the bright eyes of the anxious young ladies who live parsimoniously in a politely regulated theatre boarding house and haunt the managers’ offices. Being fond of the theatre themselves, Mr. Kaufman and Miss Ferber have written of the dewy probationers with affection and admiration, not forgetting to introduce a great many ricocheting gibes."

— Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times
