Everyone welcome.

"What Price Glory," the war play
which created such a sensation in
New York when it hit Broadway a
year ago, will continue as the attrac-
tion at the Garrick Theater.
No play of modern times has cre-
ated so much discussion nor on strong
a masculine appeal as this "salty
comedy" of the war. To the folks
at home, "What Price Glory" brings
at last a definite picture and concrete
sense of what the war was really like.
Its characters include soldiers of all
descriptions from the young cru-
saders to the professional soldier, the
"leatherneck" who has soldiered
round the world. That the picture is
accurate is attested by all Marines
who have seen it and indeed it should
be a play of truth and honesty, for

Maxwell Anderson, served for five
