Mrs. Craig. “Really? And what is my secret?”
[Act I]
CRAIG’S WIFE
By GEORGE KELLY
THE author of those two highly successful satires, “The Torch-bearers” and “The Show-Off”, has in his latest play given us a dramatic portrait of a selfish woman. Mrs. Craig is house crazy—she worships her house as coldly as pagans do their idols, and frets so much about dust that a frank domestic reminds her that she will be dust herself some day. She is a woman whom every reader and play-goer will recognize with something like a start. Here again Mr. Kelly has shown an astounding understanding of American life with all its machinery. The response of the audiences and critics in New York, where it opened in October, 1925, testifies to its sincerity and truthfulness, as well as its qualities as entertainment.
