There was no reason why the play should have been written. It contributed nothing tangible to a the*Jre crowded with antiques of shoddy workmanship. But It served to bring out the superb acting ability of Russell Hardie, of Miss Barbara O’Neil, Mr Harlan Briggs and Mr. James O'Neil. We won’t tell you the story of “Under This Roof." because we’ve already told It In a half sentence above, and anything further would be redundancy. It will probably vacate the Windsor •I'heatre bv the time you read this obituary. We're sorry, because Mr. Ehrmann can write, even If he didn’t for some reason which must have had weight to himself alone, do a better job of playsmithing. Hagar Wilde and Dale Eunaon who. we understand, are expert writers of motion pictures, are responsible for "Guest In the House." a shockingly bad play at the Plymouth Theatre, we had the uneasy feeling all through the twoodd hours we sat through it that if we could shut our eyes we'd be listening to a soap opera any afternoon on any radio.
