Synopsis
A delightful satirical comedy about a seemingly simple country boy who came to New York and broke into the play producing game. However the young “butter and egg man” is somewhat more astute than he looks, and in the end is instrumental in turning a “flop” into a “wow.” It was a sparkling comedy to present following the production, earlier in the season, of a major drama.
Author - George S. Kaufman
