Edgar Allan Woolf is the author of Miss Busley’s new playlet The sketch is founded on an original theme, but is written atrociously and constructed so amateurishly no one but a capable player of Miss Busley’s ability could save it from degenerating into broad farce. Miss Busley is the center of the story which revolves around a nurse who has fallen in love with an aviator during the war. The nurse is back in civil life selling shirtwaists. She is afraid youth is slipping away and decides upon a face lifting operation. The doctor Is a former lover whom she rejected… Miss Busley and her three supporting players gave a commendable performance, but a sketch doctor should be called in consultation immediately.
