Waiting for the Bus
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
Not so amusing as some of the author’s efforts. It simply displays the obvious humours suggested by people waiting for a bus in these days of crowded business. There is a sham-sensitive woman who thinks she condescends and is annoyed by the crowd, a woman with inquisitive children, a government official dropping papers which are picked up by a comic spy, and so on. When the bus comes the sensitive lady knocks everybody out of the way and gets the one vacant place. Recommended for license. G. S. Street
