The Best Plays

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

Drama

WHAT PRICE GLORY?--The great U. S. War play. Marine and mud and cognac.

CONSCIENCE--A searching performance by Lillian Foster as the girl who buried her morals when her husband went to prison.

WHITE CARGO--Grim disintegration of a man who sentences himself to loneliness among natives of Africa.

THE MIRACLE--Religion put up in wholesale lots by the master chemist of stage spectacle, Max Reinhardt.

RAIN--Jeanne Eagels proving that the ways of God to woman cannot always be justified.

COBRA--A sounding melodrama, recalling Eve and the snake, which is not made for those demanding sublety.

Comedy

THE SHOW-OFF--Amusing exposure of the futility of the great loud speaker.

EXPRESSING WILLIE -- Delightfully satiric jabs at the urge to parade one's ego under the banner of Self-Expression.

GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE--A thin comedy of infelicity made to sit up and take nourishment by the staccato brilliance of Ina Claire. T

HE FARMER'S WIFE--Reviewed in this issue.

MINICK--A microscope on middle-class life which insists that youth and age are incompatible.

THE WEREWOLF--Exceedingly Continental collection of infidelities. Made palatable by a distinguished cast.
