Take a Number, Darling, by Jack Sharkey

Since concert pianist Duncan Latimer and his wife, Ellen, a famous soap opera star, lead impeccable lives, their PR lady has no qualms over having a reporter from a scandal magazine interview them. But just before he arrives, so does Duncan’s old Navy buddy and Ellen’s former lover from her literally messy past, as well as an extra wife Duncan forgot to tell anyone about. It’s crazy and comical confusion all the way.

Beau Jest, by James Sherman

Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy. They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive named Chris Kringle. She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be Dr. Steinberg. Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation. Happily, he is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah's parents are enraptured. Soon, even Sarah falls for Bob.
