The Best Plays

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

Drama

COBRA--A play exposing in vivid spurts the chills and fever of sex life.

THE OUTSIDER--Lionel Atwill and Katherine Cornell vibrantly give a medical quack a dose of his own medicine.

SAINT JOAN--Bernard Shaw valiantly assures the Maid of Orleans of her place in history.

THE MIRACLE--Prodigious medieval religious spectacle, rampant with mobs, deaths, coronations and other edifying sights.

HELL-BENT FER HEAVEN--A naturalistic study of Kentucky mountaineers in religious-complex throes. (Winner of the 1924 Pulitzer Prize.)
