Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theatre, the Drama, the Girls
As I see it, It Pays to Advertise is perhaps the most typically American play of the last ten years. The Russian Stanislavski, a name that American critics who have never been nearer Russia than a dish of caviar are happy to conjure with, strikes me as a very proficient but considerably overestimated producing artist. He is a child of Gordon Craig out of Max Reinhardt. I see Grace George as a first-rate comedienne who has choked herself into a premature discard through a vanity that has brought her to surround herself with second-rate ancients in third-rate ingenue shows. I always enjoy the Win ter Garden, however poor the spectacle: if I could smoke when I watched him, I might even enjoy the performances of Lou Tellegen. I respect bjom son, but his plays escape my personal fervours. This is true also of d'annunzio. When in Paris.
