...some of the living are paraded with the dead Senator across the ridiculous and scandalous scene?Helen Hay, Rebecca Knox, Edith Root, Elinor Wylie,* who "had not then distinguished herself by her poetry or her love affairs, save for occasional passionate little verses"?not to mention Brandegee's "beloved ideal" not mentioned by name but described as "the wife of another distinguished statesman." This unknown woman, poor thing, was described at length...
Open House. Helen MacKellar, who was the target of so much grimy advertising in The Good Baa Woman fuss, does not seem to be a lucky picker. This latest is one of the vast flood of inferior pieces that have come along lately. It is about a big-business man who forced his wife to flirt with prospective customers and thus assist in the acquisition of great contracts. The play was bad and most of the acting, Miss MacKellar's excepted, was very bad indeed...
...Moderns. It seems eminently right and thoroughly as it should be to see Colleen Moore in a role which Helen Hayes played on the stage. Each is the most enduring flapper of her domain. When Miss Hayes played the drama (by Israel Zangwill) it was not a success. No stronger is the story in the films. It tells of a modern miss who chased all over London after the man she loved.

...play is primarily a picture of an ill-natured old woman, and for many months it was held by the Theatre Guild as a vehicle for their favorite actress, Helen Westley. Margaret Wycherly plays the part in the present production with quavers and acidity admirably suited to the crone. Whitford Kane is somewhat less successful as the old taxidermist, who is a greybeard Pollyanna. There is also a girl who is deceived by a strutting young musician and a serenely suffering mother. All these combine in what might have been an excellent study of mediocre domesticity had it not been...
