n ni FROM THE VIEW PUNT - kWI full He I B Rebekah of Sunnychick Farm In plot and characterization it is unique, a law unto itself. It is not the sort of production that holds you spellbound, but nevertheless it has a charm all its own. The play is one which no one can afford to miss because of the inspiration it affords. Peg 0 ' My Heart The heroine is a winsome and charming lass from Buffalo, who immediately captivates all hearts. The play does not contain a great number of clever lines, neither is it intensely dramatic, but no one who sees and hears it will regret that delightful experience. Patty Long-Legs This is a play which has not as yet received its just dues. It has many merits which have evidently been overlooked. It is a play which is perhaps better appreciated the second or third time which one sees it than on the first occasion. It is to be highly commended for its unexpected flashes of wit and the na ' ive originality evinced in both plot and construction. Without the Law The cast of this production is composed of quite a number of distinguished celebrities; not the least among these are Julie Sherman, Betty Bissell, Ruth Moore, Marie Gardner, and a number of others equally famous. This play is rich in both excitement and amuse- ment, but after one has witnessed the performance, one can ' t help regretting that the un- deniable ability of the cast should be wasted on a mediocre piece. 25

Under Cover The direct opposite of the play just criticized. At first, it has a very strong appeal — hut one soon finds oneself comparing it to II iihout the Law, and the comparison is immensely detrimental to Under Cover. The amusement and excitement afforded by the daring plots are greatly impaired in the latter play by the lack of frankness, openness, and spontaneity which constitute the chief merit of the rival production. It is a play which we should hesitate to pronounce worth while. The Beauty Shop Some extremely popular actresses appear in this comedy. The leading lady is Miss Esther Davis. A peculiar thing about this actress is that she always reserves her really best work for ' Christmas time . The part requires quite an extensive make-up, and she has been known to take over two hours in preparation for one of her appearances during one of the Christmas holidays. The Shadow Miss Brooks, an actress of unusual charm and quiet dignity, who appeals alike to all classes, is practically the whole show. The exquisite finish and technique which are associated with her presentations, should place her on a level with Sarah Bernhardt or Mrs. Fiske, were it not that she never quite forgets or loses herself in her part. But while this actress has not great genius, she most certainly has great talent, and a most successful futur e may be safely predicted for her. Grumpy Another misleading title — nothing could be further removed from a gloomy effect than the whole atmosphere of this play. From beginning to end it is one long laugh, although here and there a serious note creeps in, which, however, does not at all mar the artistic worth of the play. We extend our heartiest congratulations to Miss Sheldon for an excellent bit of work. 26
