Tracye4d2055c1ec04bf92575642aae6698bc52f8f12a1223George Jean Nathan's glowing review of the novel leads to a more muted endorsement of the play adaptation of the GPB. He praises Loos in connection with Ring Lardner, claiming they both rise above others who write jokes that they then put into characters mouths and instead focus on the characters first, letting the jokes come naturally. "On the surface we have simply a burlesque show, but in the cellar under the stage, hidden from view, we have some cunning analysis of character that serves as the burlesque show's stoutest prop."
