Abstract

Drama: Passed by the Censor
Krutch, Josefli Wood | April 24, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the drama "Bird in Hand." "Bird in Hand" suffers only from that all-pervading mildness which in general characterizes Mr. John F. Drinkwater's plays. He is so persistently amiable, so laboriously reasonable, and so impeccably right-thinking about everything that no one can get very enthusiastic about him except those compilers of "white lists" who are anxious above all to find a play to which no possible objection can be raised. Bijou Theater has no pretensions either artistic or intellectual. It is a boisterous, irresponsible, and rowdy farce which happens to be quite consistently funny. It is rather difficult to remember what it is about, but that doesn't matter.
