Excerpt from A Woman's Way, Vol. 13
"A Woman's Way" belongs to a class of comedy curiously rare on our native stage in recent seasons, the comedy of smart people, with a flavor of character study to give it dignity. It has never, to be sure, particularly abounded in America. Mrs. Mowatt's "Fashion," produced in 1845 (which Edgar Allan Poe said resembled the "School for Scandal" "as the shell resembles the living locust"), was the first smart comedy written by a native author, and it was largely satirical of pretended smartness. There were not many in the ensuing decades, and, until Bronson Howard's plays appeared, none worthy of consideration. Clyde Fitch, however, worked industriously and well in the vineyard of upper Fifth Avenue. "The Climbers," "The Girl with the Green Eyes," "Her Own Way," "The Truth," and other comedies from his pen were plays about smart people, stiffened with the dignity of character study and not lacking in social satire. But Fitch was comparatively alone in his field.
