The article presents the author's comments on some recent theatrical productions. The author says that "Betsy" performed at New Amsterdam Theater is an elaborate, standardized revue, starring Belle Baker and enlivened with one scene that devoted to the Harmonica Orchestra, which persistently stops the show. "Peggy Ann" being performed at Vanderbilt Theater is a musical comedy made from the old farce "Tithe's Nightmare," and not more than sporadically amusing. "The Honor of the Family," is an old-fashioned play made interesting by his extraordinarily vigorous and ingratiating performance.
