MPX5093799: Play closes after one night. A new play that had its first night last night called "Thirteen for Dinner" at the Duke of York's Theatre last night received overwhelmingly bad notices from the critics this morning that Mr. Emile Littler decided to close the show immediately. Today at the Theatre two stars as seen in our photograph. Miss Margareta Scott is holding a bunch of telegrams that wished her well. December 1953 / Bridgeman Images
