NEW YORK —An undutinyuirhed week’s dislinyuithint characteristics were two slight efforts to add to the amusement of Broadway. Both left audi-! ences laughing, hut a little thamefaced because of the content of the playa. "The Earning Deck” by Andrew Rorenthai, which glared the stage of ths hallowed Maxine Elliott Theatre, was a Greenwich Village version of "East Wind”, that finelydrawn neurotic book by Norman Douglas. It wa» filled with a I sort of vaguely familiar smart- . ness. Its title might well hare been “The Man Who Came to Dinner un the Isle of Capri". Rex Wolfson (On-low Stevens) is the successful English play- { wright and slightly shopworn Casanova whose son, by an ancient and almost-forgotten i B'arnage to the daughter of a furniture tycoon of Davenport. lowa, turn* up With his mother at a little hotel somewhere in the Balearic Islands just before war ■ begins to make a mess of things there.

Mothegives up babying him, goes home to Ameddira. The youngster stajs at Majorca and writes hi* I play. The truant father goes back to London to stage another great success, leaving lush promises of Zanzibar, Patagonia and Tibet to haunt hi* son It's a thin play, as you’ve, doubtless gathered, and is il- i lununated only by the octing of Mr. Stevens, Miss Vera Alien as the mother and the fine and i <ai>«Mo Dennis Hoey as a whisky-1 I —mi in —■ i sis wi i— —

It starts as a comedy and finishes, not too strong, as a farce Young Peter Mason (Hugh Cronyn i a chew-playing analyst, has a hobby of casing banks just for the fun of it.
