...Request. Bill Abbott (Elliott Nugent) is a tanktown newsman summering in Manhattan for business reasons. Claudia Wynn (Verree Teasdale), a blandishing literary agent, wants to cut capers with him at Bar Harbor. Just then Mrs. Abbott (Norma Lee) comes bringing her fetching naïveté from the plains and salvages her husband in two acts of dubious psychology. But if the psychology is brittle, Mr. Nugent's comic gaucherie is quite successful. He elicits considerable amusement despite a trite plot and an uneven script. Furthermore, Miss Teasdale is as lush a blonde as one is likely...
Jarnegan is then a profane and exciting melodrama, though one which retains, despite the severe directorial auspices of George Abbott, many touches of Jim Tully's soapy sentimentality. Richard Bennett does most of the acting; Joan Bennett, his daughter and the sister of famed Constance Bennett, is beautiful and well cast as the 16-year-old unfortunate.

...action lolls a bit at first but is sped up handsomely before the finish by a shooting and a whacking good imitation of a prizefight. The play is the work of Edward E. Paramore, Hyaat Daab, and George Abbott, an able and versatile trio. At the first night Tex Rickard was found babbling enthusiastically in the lobby which produced a rumor to the effect that he was backing the show.* Right beside Ringside will open The Big Fight, starring Tex Rickard's onetime breadwinner, Jack Dempsey, et ux.; thus providing theatre-goers with an example of dramatic coincidence...
