The entertainment is superior to the two antecedent offerings of the Equity Players, but if it is the first- rate thing our colleagues claim it is, then the Mons. Hammond and I are ready for some very skilled alienists. Richard Sterling, Merle Maddern, Chrystal Herne and Louise Closser Hale figure in the presenting cast. Miss Crothers directed the play personally and managed the direction extremely well. HERE is, however, some slight comfort in the fact that these same estimable colleagues have not called Dr. $ Shipman’s Marry While it » surprised me overmuch to read in the papers that it was, they have, to the contrary “Cheaper to greatest play of any century. wouldn't ha most unanimously given may inelegantly be described as the raspberry. And though it may simply on this occasion we are all ’, I find myself joining them with my due and full share of the in- elegance. The latest opus of Mr. Shipman does not depart greatly from his accustomed method and manner. ‘The profound theme which the venerable doctor this year negotiates with his familiar passion concerns the advisability of marrying the object of one’s love instead of installing her in an illicit flat. It is cheaper, elo- quently proclaims the venerable doctor: it is more soothing to the spirit; it is in the end best.
