...critical analysis of the part played in love by physical attraction and that ends as a rather clever comedy, the Boston Stock Company presented "The Misleading Lady" at the St. James Theatre last night. The play runs the gamut of everything common to all comedies from cave-man philosophy to a lunatic. The acting is decidedly spotty, but the good points in both the play and the east come...

Apparently its elusive, airy quality confused Mr. Ziegfeld. He added toward the last a thunderous episode in slapstick and a beautiful ballet. The slapstick was funny and the ballet was a bore. The early episodes in the unadulterated Kummer quality made the show attractively successful...
