"Moral," by Ludwig Thoma, the comedy presented Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week, and Tuesday to Friday of next week, by the Ford Hall Players at The Barn at 36 Joy Street, is a biting satire on the "double standard" as it exists in the German middle class. The play deals with a Society for the Suppression of Vice, all of whose members find their reputations threatened when the police raid the disorderly house kept by Madame Ninon de Hautville, a "lady of leisure," whose establishment is recommended by the most fashionable gentlemen.
The acting is less artificial than that usual in amateur productions, and the atmosphere of informality enables the audience to become "part of the play" in a way which is impossible in more pretentious surroundings. One might wish that the prompter was somewhat less loquacious, and that there were fewer alarums and excursions during the shifting of scenery.
