The article discusses plays by playwrights Lawrence Langner and Armina Marshall. According to the author, Langner and Marshall are very much interested in the New England town meeting for them to ever write a play built around the Middle Western art of calling hogs. Some few seasons back they concocted a farce-comedy called "The Pursuit of Happiness," which was concerned in large part with the pleasant custom of bundling and which turned out to be very amusing indeed, but just now they have rather signally failed to repeat the success with a play about the Oreida Community or some similar experiment in simple communism.
