Once In A Lifetime

<p>(October 6, 1930)

<p> Although George S. Kaufman has rarely written a play all by
himself, he has brightened many a theatrical season with shows
in whose making he collaborated (June Moon, Beggar on Horseback,
Dulcy, Merton Of The Movies). With Moss Hart the whimsically
insane Kaufman touch has surpassed itself in producing Once In
A Lifetime, a merciless, hilariously funny lampoon on Hollywood
and the cerebral content of its creatures. The only possible
adverse criticism of the play might come from spectators for the
near savagery of some of the blows which Mr. Kaufman deals to
cinema fold with his relentless jester's bladder.</p>
