Mary, Mary (1961), a play by Jean
Kerr. [
Helen Hayes Theatre, 1,572 perf.] When Bob McKellaway ( Barry
Nelson) shows his fiancée, Tiffany Richards ( Betsy von Furstenberg), reviews of his latest work, he is reminded that his ex‐wife used to ask him why his books were so good that “a hundred thousand people wouldn't read them.” It was an incessant fusillade of such barbed comments that led him to leave her. Now he must meet with her again to straighten out some income tax problems. When Mary ( Barbara
Bel Geddes) appears, she is as caustic as ever. At the same time, an old friend, Dirk Winsten ( Michael Rennie), arrives. He is a fading film star who is deserting Hollywood—“the sinking ship leaving the rats.” Dirk's romantic interest in Mary makes Bob and his ex realize that they still love each other. Welcomed by Thomas Dash of
Women's Wear Daily as “urbane, witty and sophisticated,” the Roger L.
Stevens long‐run hit skillfully blended a standard, syrupy plot with consistently brittle, impertinent dialogue.
