Description Frank Craven's new comedy at the Criterion is entirely a play of character, plot and action alike being of the slightest. The whole story takes place outside a cottage in three stages of erection, foundations, frame work, and finished house, and just because it
is "outside" it suggests a succession of front scenes!
