The Best Plays

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

Drama

COBRA--The spirit of the red light district discreetly modulated to a suave pink, but drawing the eyes just the same.

THE WONDERFUL VISIT--A stimulating if talky play in which an angel dropped from Heaven shows that the world is too much with us.

Comedy

THE SHOW-OFF--A pungent exposure of the type of man who is always with us, and whom even this incisive satire cannot destroy.

BEGGAR ON HORSEBACK--Satire mingled with rollicking burlesque, as the scalp of the tired business man is lifted and the inner workings of his brain revealed.

EXPRESSING WILLIE -- A dexterous dissection of those who pursue Art only with their tongues, in which the author uses the scalpel gently but firmly.

MEET THE WIFE--Showing two husbands very neatly who is the boss around here.

THE POTTERS--A typical American family, humorously naive, finding that oil is a good lubricant for family rows.

THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH--Benevolently allowing the children to visit their virtues, instead of their sins, upon their parents.

Musical

Summer is the accepted time for musical comedies. Best relief from warm temperature can be had at Kid Boots, Chariot's Revue, Keep Kool.
