The Best Plays

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

Drama

WHAT PRICE GLORY--Next week is the last in Manhattan of the finest and funniest .of war playb. Then a few scattered western weeks and into Chicago for a run.

DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS--Also nearing the end of its metropolitan existence. The furies of loneliness scourge a New England farm.

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED--San Francisco and a waitress' life traded for sunshine and an aged farmer husband, with unfortunate complications on the wedding night.

WHITE CARGO -- Explaining the abrupt evaporation of English training under the ceaseless suns of desert Africa.

THE DOVE--A highly artificial operation performed across the Mexican border with the pure dance hall girl as the central figure.

Comedy

THE FALL GUY--Final performances of the tarnished little tale of a wabbly little fellow who couldn't quite work hard enough to hold a job.

Is ZAT So?--Brusque comedy with a shaven neck wherein two prizefighters blunder into a luxurious household; marry the servants, and win the lightweight championship of the world.

THE POOR NUT--You may not like undergraduate comedy but you can not deny that a lot of this is funny and that the relay race is definitely exciting.

Musical

For drums and dancing the following are best: Lady Be Good, The Student Prince, Rose-Marie, Follies, Artists and Models, Big Boy.
