Abstract

Drama
Krutch, Joseph Wood | June 5, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on latest developments taking place in drama. The Pulitzer prize committee pinned its medal upon Elmer Rice's "Street Scene." "Street Scene" is not a great play. Perhaps it is not even a play wholly free from the influence of conventional theatricalism. Commonly mentioned as a possible candidate for the same prize was Philip Barry's delightfully insubstantial comedy "Holiday," which author is inclined to rank very high among the season's plays in spite of the fact that it is not "about" much of anything in particular.
