The only real criticism is at the end and is inadequate because the praise is given without reason. | Grace George and her small but | |excellent company of artists added one | |more to their long list of successful | |performances last night in the production | |of Geraldine Bonner's clever comedy of | |modern life, "Sauce for the Goose," at | |the ---- Theatre.
