The Best Plays

These are the plays which, in the light of metropolitan criticism, seem most important.

Drama

WHITE CARGO--The discouraging effects of African sun and an African female on the character of a lonely Nordic.

WHAT PRICE GLORY?--The Great War reduced to terms of personalities, jealousies and jest.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED--California domestic sunshine slides behind a cloud of infidelity when the hired man and the boss's wife break a commandment.

DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS--The same commandment shattered, also on a farm.

This time New England and tragedy unrelieved.

Comedy

Is ZAT So?--A rowdy and benevolent adventure whereby a certain pugilist wins the lightweight championship of the world and the hand of a pretty serving maiden.

THE FALL GUY--Tenement talk and a tale of a feeble character that stiffened when the law was catching up with him.

THE POOR NUT--A youthful adventure on the campus of Ohio State University in which the hero is a Phi Beta Kappa man and still a hero.

THE GORILLA--A preposterous and obvious bundle of burlesque on the subject of mystery plays.

CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA--Shaw comedy with Helen Hayes as the flapper Cleopatra.

Musical

Warmer evenings are best forgotten in the contemplation of the following musical diversions: Rose-Marie, Ziegfeld Follies, The Student Prince, Lady, Be Good, Engaged, George White's Scandals, Garrick Gaieties, Grand Street Follies.
