Civic Theatre
Katharine Hepburn and Angela Lansbury stage a battle of. wits and hearts over Spencer Tracy in "The World and His Wife," showing at the Civic Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the contest, refereed by sffch eaually stellar performers as Van Johnson and Adolph Menjou, results in one of the most* deftly acted and amusing concoctions of the year. This M.G.M. Liberty Films production combines fxplosive action and incisive dialogue with a love dual keyed to today's breezy-paced tempo. v Frank Capra can move over the cups on his trophy shelf— he's due for another!
