...went to the Ritz. People of importance were there. But I wrote no story, for it was a ball in honor of such as me." So said many a young woman, clever with her typewriter, as she removed her satin slippers early one morning last week.

...Another thing that makes people come to see a musical comedy is a number of well-known names in the cast," she went on. "The people who play in it, besides being important, must also be young and attractive. And you will notice that the plot of nearly every musical comedy this year has a youthful appeal. This year producers have tried to combine all these qualities, together with good comedy, and as a result only three musical comedies have failed in New York this season, while the drama, operetta, and revue have not had any remarkable success...
