Sweet Nell of Old Drury. Innocuous, sentimental, pleasant claptrap of the days of Charles II, written by Paul Kester, revived for Laurette Taylor. Brocade and periwigs, exclamations of " Oddsfish! " and "me lud" and "la!", a couple of "big scenes," Laurette Taylor charming and well assisted.

Alexander Woollcott: "A sleazy piece."

James Craig: "Sentimental, romantic and old-fashioned play."
