Press Reviews
"An unabashedly old fashioned evening of charm and elegance [that] sends theatre goers out into the night in good cheer."
— New York Daily News
"A lovely evening of theatre, redolent of special social charms. It is not a play of our times. And many will say "Thank God!' to that."
— New York Post
