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.
