Summary
Reporting the closure of "Eastward in Eden" despite interest from those who did attend; celebrating that Beatrice Straight is "placed on the Broadway map"; confirming that a book on The Chicago Little Theatre "and what sprang from it" has been in her and Maurice Browne's mind for a long time; further informing that Browne had started "such a work" but became sidetracked by other matters; hoping critics will have "perspicacity" for his upcoming book.
