...production of "Believe Mc, Xantippe" next week will be an event of no little importance. For the third time, the John Craig annual Prize Play will be offered to the public, and all signs indicate that the latest one will repeat the success of "The End of the Bridge" and "The Product of the Mill." It is a strongly effective and original comedy from the pen of John Frederick Ballard, and it touches American life and manners with a light and sure hand. It never oversteps the bounds of legitimate humor, and its dramatic moments are on a high...

Get into contact with men and find something in common with them. Avoid mediocrity in all things like poison and strive always to break records, not records of others but your...
Here is a play with "a punch." Nor is it the first of that sort which its author. Mr. Paul Armstrong, has done. Earlier this season we saw his "Deep Purple," while "The Greyhound," his latest product, is a current New York success. The offering at the Plymouth is more than generously supplied with thrills, and yet, on the whole, is so skilfully constructed and acted as to rise very high above the conventional play of the type...
