The Best Plays

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

Drama

WHAT PRICE GLORY?--Two marines fighting over a French girl for two acts, and against Germany for one. Permitting you to peer into the bottom of the cup and see the dregs of war.

WHITE CARGO--Though a white man's skin stays white, his soul stains brown with native association through a long exile in Africa.

RAIN--In which the clergyman and the courtesan change places in the dripping forests of a South Sea Island. Approaching its third year.

CONSCIENCE--Lillian Foster luridly accurate in her portraiture of a girl who went wrong because starving did not appeal to her and because her husband was in jail where she could not appeal to him.

COBRA--The snaky whip of melodiama snapping smartly around the old, old story that Eve is still the temptress.
