According to Detroit critics and

Parlor," which Miss Pauline
Frederick is offering at the Cass
Theater for the current and two
weeks to follow. This happens to

brilliant English dramatist and ac-

Mr. Coward has the reputation of
writing smart repartee and touch-

he deals with a subject awentury
or more old. He is in a dons by

It has plenty of comedy and is
