Vivien Leigh, now playing the title-role in Look After Lulu! at the New Theatre, has gone from success in the theatre since she played her first part at the Ambassador’s 24 years ago. It is in comedy that she excels, and this Noel Coward adaptation of Feydeau’s famous farce has given her an ideal role.

With her delicate type of beauty, her aptitude for frothy comedy, her exquisitely controlled movement on the stage, and her sheer personal vivacity, she seems to have been born to play the alluring heroines of Feydeau. And did she not also study with Mlle. Antoine of the Comédie-Française ?
