She penned the sheep in good style although several of the Dorset ewes charged her from time to time. Mir.

1ANE COWL In
A PROBLEM
COMEDY

The brilliant Jane Cowl takes
upon her sculpturesque shoul-
ders the task of emancipating
the downtrodden American hus-
band this season, and, thanks to
that hard-boiled frankness Of
which the younger generation
of playrights is so fond, she.
makes a .devastatingly complete
Job of it.
If any oppressed male feels
the urge to break the shackles
of connubial routine, it is fairly
certain that the spectacle Of
Miss Cowl in Jenny" q comedy
current at Polls, will make
that urge rather imperative and
imperious. Perhaps in the in
terest of the great American
home we ought to caution him
to Sidetrack the urge before
it is too late.

edge it as his brain child, and
quantity ludicrous touches of
the Greenwich Village type.
Jenny" is one grand broad
side at the American social
problem, and you may be con-
vinced Of the fact by the array
of exhibits which this chronicler
can present. Exhibit A is a
charming actress GJane Cowl
herselD who falls in love with
the dumbest high-powered cor
poration lawyer ever seen on
any stage, and wants him to
assist her in having a eugenic
baby. Exhibit B is an interior
decorator of dubious mascu-
Unity. Exhibit c is a Park
Avenue Southampton family
which it would be a compliment
to describe as merely parasitic.
It may be observed that any
comedy which contains such an
aSSemblage has infinite poten-
tialitieS; and when, at the end,
the piece appears merely as a
warning for idle wives or pre-
datory domestic females, we
have a curious feeling that
some of these potentialitieS, to
say the least, have been lost.
We concede. however, that with
Jane Cowl as Portia, a mis-
tress," as she calls herself, and
an emancipation Of enslaved huS-
bands continuously in the center
of the Stage-particularly SO far
as dialogue Is concerned-the
play has it's moments. Such
lines she has to speak-lines
that never were before, we fear,
on land or sea!
In the long line of roles which
Guy Standing has played in his
distinguished career, that Of.
John r. Weatherby, probably,
will stand close to the bottom
of the list. He plays it, how
ever, with more than a touch
of his old power and skill. AS
to the other members Of the
precious Weatherby family.
they are all brilliantly done.
and seem to step right out of
the pages of Sinclair Lewis.
The one real merit of Jenny"
after all, is smashing
finish in which convention is
defied, domestic virtue is out

dom for husbands is uShered in.

glad hand by the Tammany graft
ers. The other capitalist parties
