...Constant Wife is in many ways an excellent comedy. For considerable stretches of time it manages to transcend the limitations of its type--the drawing room comedy. But in the last analysis, I'm afraid, despite a good try, it remains a pretty standard piece; Some rest Maugham has not escaped mediocrity...
...denied that the play has a fresh and entertaining twist on the popular subject of marital infidelity. The injured party, who is the "constant wife" of the title, not only knows about her husband's affair but actually approves of it. She expresses this unconventional view with some force and scores many points, over the other characters, all of whom, needless to say, are slavishly conventional.

Easily a dozen books, for example, bear titles including the word "sin." Some of these are "Born to Sin." "Sin is Man's Twin," and "The Constant Sinner." Sundry types of virgins are considered, including "13 Carat Virgin," "Professional Virgin," and "Broadway Virgin." The stacks are studded with gaudily colored volumes which sport such appealing names as "Roue the 4th." "No Bed of Her Own," "Naked Glory," "Bare Living," and "Bedroom Eyes...
