...hands. Despite its occasional irony, the play seems to be smitten with awe at moving among elegant folks in grand surroundings. With a first act that sparkles and others that go diminuendo, Miss Zoë Akins remains the broad-jumping playwright. She leaps off with a great rush, then loses momentum. Elsie Ferguson recovers in the courtesan role the warm, stirring undercurrent of her earlier acting. Throwing off the cataleptic spell of the cinema, she no longer seems to be waiting for a closeup.

Time pases unnecessarily fast anyway...

At closing time last night 800 tickets still remained on sale, but the usual last minute rush is expected today. To accommodate delinquent students the ticket office will kept open until 5 o'clock this afternoon, instead of closing at noon as usual...
