Spring Dance

This gay, light, frothy comedy was produced by Jed Harris at the Empire Theatre in New York. The story concerns a number of New England college girls in general and one, Alex Benson, in particular, who finds it very difficult to attract young men of any description! Alex sets her heart on Sam Thatcher, a Yale man who has turned against college and regimentation to set off for Russia with a rebellious companion oddly called "The Lippincott," who knows everything about women except how to get along without them. When Alex can't seem to get very far with the courtship by herself, her girl friends decide to take the matter into their own hands. They conspire to make Sam jealous as well as interested in things other than Russia and candid cameras, and to raise Alex to the rank of belle of the ball. Sam, a sad,funny figure the world over, finally capitulates under the ministrations of the many females, and he and Alex elope to the great delight of Alex's gang.
