The Rat Race
Author(s):
Garson Kanin
This "amiable...rooming-house idyll" is characterized by Atkinson (Times) as a "charming...free-hand sketch of a girl who has abandoned hope in New York and of a boy who is on tip-toe with hope and enthusiasm. Nothing is more actable than the principal characters and the neighborhood rag-tag and bobtail who move in and out of the performance. For the 'rat race,' substitute the squalid life of penniless people drifting around the lower depths of the city. The girl thinks she is through. She is bitter, disillusioned and broken. The boy has just come to New York from the Middle West to make his mark as a saxophone player."
