The Best Plays

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

Drama

WHAT PRICE GLORY?--Final month of the War play which seems by its truth and ribald humor to have ended War plays for the present.

WHITE CARGO--A somewhat artificial but theatrically effective portrait of an Englishman gone morally bankrupt in Africa.

DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS--Eugene O'Neill's cutting testimony of the effects of loneliness and stinginess on a New England farm.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED --Wherein a cheap waitress marries a rich Italian farmer and finds his farm hand more attractive.

Comedy

Is ZAT So?--A breezy fable of pugilism and aristocracy rubbing shoulders on Fifth Avenue.

THE FALL GUY--The sad story of the unhappy little chap who could not hold his job and almost went to jail for it.

THE POOR NUT--A cheerful college tale of the midnight oil burner who suddenly flared up as the champion of the quarter mile.

Musical

Knees and notes, laughs and lingerie: Ziegfeld Follies, The Student Prince; Lady, Be Good; Rose-Marie, Artists and Models, Garrick Gaieties, George White's Scandals.
