Janie (1942), a comedy by Josephine Bentham and Herschel Williams. [ Henry Miller Theatre, 642 perf.] When seventeen‐year‐old Janie Colburn (Gwen Anderson) meets Pvt. Dick Lawrence (Herbert Evers), the son of her mother's old friend, she instantly forgets her high school beau, Scooper Nolan (Frank Amy). And when her parents and their friends go out for the night, Janie has Dick invite all his army buddies to a hastily got‐up party at the Colburn house. The older Colburns return to find the house overrun. Dick must go off to war, so Janie realizes she will have to make up with Scooper. Almost every critic compared this play unfavorably with the earlier Junior Miss. Both comedies exemplified the recourse playwrights had to youngsters and old folks as principals when so many draft‐age men and women had joined the war effort. Although business was slow at first, good word‐of‐mouth and wartime prosperity turned the Brock Pemberton production into a hit.
