work after having started in 882 on the Great White Way. '49th Cousin' Is Greeted, With a Kiss and a Slap "The 49th Cousin," an old-fashioned comedy about a Jewish family's troubles at the turn of the century, opened last night at the Ambassador Theater. Three of the morning critics found its characters appealing but the play's style antiquated. The play by Florence Lowe and Caroline Francke stars Menasha. Skulnik.

Martha Scott, Marian Winters and Evans Evans are featured as his unmarried daughters. Jack Smight directed the comedy, which is a production of the Theater Guild and George Kondolf. Howard Taubman of the New York Times said: "It is a series of vaudeville turns connected by a desultory story line. The evening. is Mr.

Skulnik's. If you find him irrestible, "The 49th Cousin' will be your cousin." Walter Kerr of the New York Herald Tribune said: "The People at the Ambassador are such a truly sweet lot with such simple and innocent belief that I'd like to think they were still carrying on, somewhere, after the curtain has gone down (but) the play would have seemed slightly retarded to World War I audiences John Chapman of the Daily News said: "'The 49th Cousin' could be the most unimportant play we have had in many seasonsbut it is more darn fun. Much, but not all, of the fun comes from Menasha Skulnik a charming, warm family comedy There was no report on the Daily Mirror review. 5.
