The Best Plays

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

Comedy

THE FALL GUY--Ernest Truex and an able assembly tell the amusing, occasionally pathetic story of the little man who trusted everybody.

Is ZAT So?--Slang and six-ounce gloves in a stately citadel of Fifth Avenue respectability.

THE FIREBRAND--Shows that the Middle Ages were young enough in their time.

LOVE FOR LOVE--A comedy of Congreve revived to let us laugh again at the polite and pointed peccadillos of old England at its merriest.

Drama

WHAT PRICE GLORY?--The front-line trenches and the men that laughed at war and took love seriously.

WHITE CARGO--Still serves its bitter notice on morality under the biting suns of Africa.

DESIRE UXDER THE ELMS--Eugene O'Neill's contribution to the season on the subject of granite loneliness and infidelity in backwoods New England.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED--California sunshine beats mercilessly upon an old grape-grower, his young wife, a farm hand.
