There's Wisdom in Women is a play written by Joseph Kesselring. Producer D. A. Doran staged it on Broadway in 1935. Walter Pidgeon played Leon Nordoff, a famous pianist who has cheated on his wife, Margalo (Ruth Weston). She must decide whether to stay with him, and seeks advice from her friend, Tony Cooke (Glenn Anders).[1]
In his review for The New York Times, Brooks Atkinson said the play was "old hat" produced by "routine playwrighting".[2] Robert Benchley was similarly dismissive in The New Yorker, saying the play need not have been produced at all.[3] The production closed in less than a month, after 46 performances.
