"SEVENTH

There isn't much of Three Wise

same playwright. Austin Strong-in
Seventh Heaven" Indeed. one won
ders as he looks back, why a person
enthusiastically said after the last
curtain had fallen:
That's u of the best shows I

The reason for four reporters per-

is made up of what Broadway often
stigmatizes as "old stuff" For ill.,

is when the curtain falls upon the
heroine waving goodbye to her lover,
doubleday it is the fine work of Helen

this attitude toward what ~undeniably
is a very effective play:
Two sisters who, when children,
lost touch with their parents. are dis
closed in the Paris Sums. One has
succumbed to absinthe. She beats her
sister into submissiveness low enough
to steal and 10 cheat with men. The
younger sister revolts on the street
one night, and the older flies at her
throat. Out of the sewer rises q
drainman-a mucky philosopher.
He takes the younger sister to his
rooms on the seventh floor-hence the
title--of a tenement. There he mar
ries her by oath. And forthwith he
leaves her to go 10 war.
Four years later the drainman is
back just before she is to marry the
commissioner of police. She has been
convinced that her lover was dead. He
is blind, but on his face shines the
evidence of a soul that is clean and Il
mind that knows the truth of life at
last. OF course, the girl is happy
ever after.
Helen Menken is wonderfully eff
fective as the heroine. George Gaul

1t is. of course, a string OF more or

for the rich young youth who wronged
her. So the rich young man sends
Swiftly out to tell her that he will not

How Swiftly makes everything right

his sister into the family as lady's maid.
Then Swiftly makes love to the rich
Young mans sister. He elopes with

with the intimation that Swiftly will be
welcomed by the family, too.
Humphrey Bogart plays the rich
young man rather we'll. Swifty'S sister
is well played by Margaret Mosier.
Frances Howard is very good as the
sister of the rich young man. Grace
Geodall is excellent as a wise family
friend. Robert Ayerton plays the usual
English butler in an unusually clever
way. The rest of the cast is good, in

best of all.
It's an improbable sort of play. with
