The article throws light on the theatrical production "Petticoat Influence," by Neil Grant. It is a drawing-room comedy in the best English tradition. It is, to be sure, a little too much in the tradition, too much like scores of other English drawing-room comedies. "Petticoat Influence" is as smooth and workman-like as a Cadillac. If it is also almost as standardized, it is at least standardized on a high level, and evening clothes are worn throughout the first and last acts. The star cast for the theatrical production includes Reginald Owen, Henry Stephenson and Helen Hayes.
