...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...

...impression of having been written in sections. Such a system could hardly fall to produce some good scenes. Fortunately both Miss Hitz, as the siren heroine who robs the hero of his heart in the very first line, and Mr. Nedell, as the big strong man who uses cave-man methods as a last and successful resort, found the parts suited to them and the result was distinctly good...

Clare Kummer was summoned to set to music her engaging comedy, Good Gracious, Annabelle. This will be remembered as a feathery adventure of an original young lady and a fierce cave man whom she reformed. It was chiefly characterization, unexpected remarks and utter nonsense. 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...
