For a lady who is specifically advertised as being alone; Nina Hopkins--played by Alice Brady--is entertaining a large and assorted group of gentlemen friends these evenings at the Plymouth. Perhaps it is her charm, or her very attractive gowns, or the way she inhales, but in any event other women's husbands have the oddest habit of walking in at all hours of the day and night. Being a lady, Nina tells them to go and go they do--only to return with orchids and dinner invitations. They prove delightful, if inconstant, playboys and when they depart Nina decides that life is a funny proposition but not quite so funny when one has to be both a lady and alone.

An intelligent although far from sparkling play is Laetitia McDonald's (Mrs. Wallace Irwin) "Lady Alone". During the first two acts the audience wonders when the real plot is going to begin and then in the very well done third act, finds that the action has apparently been progressing all the time. The final curtain is a genuine surprise to anyone who has taken the play as a polite little society drama in which the heroine would eventually discover that cats who walk alone often grow weary. If Nina had returned to her diamond-in-the-rough Mr. Brett the result would be more soothing but also less realistic.

With the exception of Mr. Joseph Kilgour who gives an excellent portrait of a well-meaning gentleman in his amorous fifties, and Miss Louise Galloway, whose guardian aunt evades the obviousness of a "character part," Miss Brady's support is none too good. But Miss Brady is one of the few actresses who can carry a play by her own individuality an ability. Playing in a quiet manner, much different from her hectic incoherence of "Bride Of The Lamb", she is splendid as one of the girls you forget to remember. The moral appears to be that husbands are a necessity and a girl can't remain respectable and unmarried
