Best Plays
These are the plays which, in the light of metropolitan criticism, seem most important.
SERIOUS
THE DYBBUK -- A matchless production of a Jewish legend mystically combining love and religion.
YOUNG WOODLEY -- Glenn Hunter displaying the acute agonies of a schoolboy who has fallen in love with his algebra master's lovely wife.
CRAIG'S WIFE -- The portrait of a lady who so worshiped her home that everything in it was a museum piece except her husband.
LULU BELLE -- An exciting blast of trash about a Negro singer who graduated to a luxurious Paris boudoir.
CYRANO DE BERGERAC -- Walter Hampden making one of his periodical and singularly satisfactory revivals of the Rostand classic.
LESS SERIOUS
THE WISDOM TOOTH -- A touching fantasy about a young man who never was much good until he recaptured his childhood in a dream.
THE LAST OP MRS. CHEYNEY -- Ina Claire and a flawless troupe telling the tale of stolen pearls in lofty English society.
MUSICAL
For melody and maidens these are dependable: Cocoanuts, Pinafore, No, No, Nanette, Tip-Toes, Sunny, The Vagabond King, Artists and Models.
