The Best Plays

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

Drama

WHAT PRICE GLORY?-- The marines in France illustrate the stern principle that everything is fair in love and war.

DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS-- Eugene O'Neill's story tragedy of loneliness and infidelity in backwoods New England.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED-- The old farmer, the young wife and the hired man work out a stormy triangle amid California vineyards.

WHITE CARGO-- Close-up of a man's morals melting under the lonely suns of Africa.

Comedy

IS ZAT SO?-- Professional prizefighters win the lightweight championship and the love of serving maidens in an expensive Fifth Avenue domicile.

THE POOR NUT-- An artless tale of undergraduate days wherein the Phi Beta Kappa man turns out to be a gorgeous athlete.

THE FALL GUY-- Again the turning worm--this time a futile little chap with a family and a genius for losing his job.

CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA-- Shaw comedy wherein a flapper Cleopatra plays verbal hide-and-seek with a superannuated Caesar.

Musical

Summer evenings are best endured with the aid of the following follies: Rose-Marie, The Student Prince, Engaged, Artists and Models, Grand Street Follies, Louie the 14th; Lady, Be Good; George White's Scandals, Garrick Gaieties.
