IT was with She Stoops to Conquer that Gold-smith made his name as a playwright—a name that repeated London revivals and innumerable amateur productions have ever since kept green. Produced in 1773 at Covent Garden, where his first work, The Good-Natur'd Man, had failed five years before, it triumphed over the fashion of the day, which was all for sentimental comedy, and the first night was a riot. Before the century was out it had been put on seven times more at the Haymarket, Covent Garden, and Drury Lane, and its popularity shows no signs of waning to this day. This afternoon's production, necessarily . compressed from the original stage version, is the fifth in the series of great plays which have this Autumn been specially broadcast to the schools.
