Almost as cheering as a box of chocolates is "Yesterday's Lover" (Ward Lock, London. 3/6). Elisabeth Margetson's charming young people move in an artists' colony in the south of France, in London at its richest, all of them amusing, well-dressed and good-looking—even the coldly villainous Jim O'Garry might pass without detection if one judged by appearances. It is like watching a pleasant play, the characters are all so alive and the action moves so fast—and whatever happens one can feel assured that it will all come right in the end, and it does. The way Miss Margetson clears up lovers' difficulties is really neat and most unexpected.—M.E.
