Cohan’s “So This Is London” proved to be a smashing hit in the Hudson Theater for more than a year, and in the Prince of Wales Theater in London for over a year because it appeals to every one's sense of humor.

The three scenes of the play are all laid in London at the Ritz, Sir Percy Beaucamp’s living room and Lady Ducksworth’s drawing room. British stolidity and conservatism are contrasted with American vivacity, enterprise and slang. At the end there is a union of the second generation of the two leading characters, and the combinations of their
