New Plays in Boston

"A Single Man."

Mr. John Drew's present offering is the work of Hubert Henry Davies, an English playwright whose "Molluse" and "Cousin Kate" have had productions here.

Though slight in plot, "A Single Man" very easily takes rank with the best of Mr. Drew's "drawing-room plays"--a form of entertainment in which he has long held first place on our stage and which promises to remain popular so long as Mr. Drew finds parts to his liking. Without him Mr. Davies's comedy could hope for little; with him, and a carefully selected cast, it is highly amusing and altogether worth while. In the supporting company are Miss Mary Boland, Miss Thais Lawton, late of the New Theatre company, and Miss Carrol McComas, who has deserted musical comedy to do splendidly the part of a tomboyish but otherwise charming girl.
