Best Plays

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

SERIOUS

HEDDA GABLER--Ibsen excellently assisted Emily Stevens and others.

YOUNG WOODLEY--About a school boy (Glenn Hunter) who fell in love with a beautiful faculty wife.

THE GREEN HAT--About a girl (Katharine Cornell) who fell in love with most of the available men in Europe.

THE WISDOM TOOTH--Reviewed in this issue.

CRAIG'S WIFE--U. S. hausfrau whose haus was more important than her husband.

THE DYBBUK--Jewish mysticism made marvelously exciting by a flawless production.

THE JEST--Italian revival with Basil Sydney in the part John Barrymore created.

LULU BELLE--Lenore Ulric in a savage study of heartlessness in Harlem.

LESS SERIOUS

THE LAST OF MRS. CHEYNEY--Ina Claire and a glittering troupe in a vividly polite parable of English drawing rooms.

CRADLE SNATCHERS--A slightly nauseous (to some) discussion of three females who hire three young men to flirt with them.

THE BUTTER AND EGG MAN--The matter of $25,000 lost and found on a wild theatrical production.

Is ZAT So?--Uppercuts and lorgnets in a comedy of how the prize ring came to the social register.
