AT THE PLAY.
"JUST LIKE JUDY."
If the author of _Just Like Judy_ will look into that commodious classic,
_Mrs. Beeton's Cookery Book_, he will find a formula for light pastry. And
if he will proceed to the (for him) enlivening adventure of essaying a
tartlet, he will find that most fatal among a host of fatal errors will be
any failure to preserve the due proportion of ingredients. I do not suggest
that there is as rigid a formula for light comedy. But certainly Mr. DENNY
threw in too many unnecessary mystifications and crude explanations in
proportion to the wit, wisdom and lively incident of his confection.
