Paris Bound (1927), a comedy by Philip Barry. [Music Box Theatre, 234 perf.] For six years Mary ( Madge Kennedy) and Jim Hutton ( Donald Cook) have seemed the ideal young couple. Then Mary discovers that Jim has not been totally faithful to her. Back on their wedding day, Jim's divorced father, James Sr. ( Gilbert Emery), had warned them to overlook occasional strayings, lest it ruin their marriage as it had destroyed his. At first Mary is bitter and determined on divorce. But when she realizes that Jim has ignored her own flirtation with a handsome young composer, Richard Parrish ( Donald MacDonald), she decides to live and let live. Brooks Atkinson of the Times hailed the Arthur Hopkins offering as “a comedy of manners, rich in quality, true in temper and buoyant in its social criticism.”
