Without doubt the play has suffered by the loss of Frieda Inescort, who played with the show for 25 weeks in New York, and is now engaged in the title role of Rachel Crothers' latest success "When Ladies Meet." Edith Atwater, Helen Claire, and Eric Blore, however, give a finished air to the production. Madge Kennedy would have been very much at home as Mrs. Jelliwell...
...John Davison Rockefeller jig together with a chorus of little oil cans. Tunes: "Wouldja for a Big Red Apple?", "You're Not Pretty But You're Mine," "Satan's Little Lamb." When Ladies Meet (by Rachel Croth- ers; John Golden, producer). Everything Mary Howard (Frieda Inescort) did bore the hallmark of success.

This very unfunny comedy has as engaging a comedienne (Frieda Inescort, late of Napi), as droll a farceur (Lynne Overman of Just Married) and as stupid a script as has been professionally presented for a long time. Ridden to death is the story of a poor young tennis player (Mr. Overman), who must pawn a cup he has not quite won for keeps. Included in the complications are a fake holdup, a real holdup, beer, neighbors, a bull pup, a baby. Also joining in the ruckus is a visitor from Atlanta whose attempt at the dialect...
