New Plays

Two Fellows and a Girl. A girl, on fire in two places with two equal flames of love, directs the contenders to flip a coin for her favor. For her sake (and for the sake of the play) the gentlemen comply. The winner marches her off to church..

Five years later the trio reassembles to audit the proceeds of their gamble. After going over the books for two acts the girl decides the coin spun in her favor. The odd man seeks solace with a finale flapper.

Ruth Shepley, John Halliday, and Allan Dinehart repose with moderate effectiveness on the points of this strange triangle. Vincent Lawrence is the author. The sentient spirit of George M. Cohan jigs invisibly to the cadence of the dialogue.

New York Tribune: "Leisurely and diverting three hours, proving nothing."

Fashions of 1924. Fifty thousand buyers came bounding into Manhattan about the middle of July; Fashions of 1924 is nothing more nor less than an animated billboard propped up behind footlights and garnished with girls and garments for their delectation. It purports to forecast the fashions for next year, and on the program, in large letters, reveals exactly where among the larger New York shops these fashions may be found.

Just as some of the costumes hark back to ancient times, so does much of the comedy. Jimmy Hussey is largely responsible for the attempted fun-making. Also on the list are Arnold Daly (his debut in a revue), Carlotta Monterey, Edith Taliaferro, Marie Nordstrom.

New York Tribune: "Fashion show . . . reasonably pure and simple."

The New York Herald: "Absolutely the last word in feminine upholstery."
