	Miss Lulu Bett commentary
		Lulu Bett and her mother live with her sister, Ina, and brother-in-law, Dwight, and their two daughters - Diana, an older teenager, and a younger daughter, Monona, the typical pesky adolescent.
		In "Miss Lulu Bett," he's domineering, demands that the whole family serve and cater to him, is cruel with his words, has alienated his children, and treats both his mother-in-law and sister-in-law with disdain.
		His character in "Miss Lulu Bett" is a rather shallow role that essentially fills a need in the story - that of the handsome suitor with whom she is in love and who provides an escape from her miserable life - but, other than that, he has no impact on the storyline.

	Miss Lulu Bett
		Ina (Lisa Butterfield), the vain, stupid (and lazy) sister of Lulu with her precious child, Monona (Erin Killean) and the rebellious (and horny) niece Di (Brittani Ebert).
		We see Lulu slowly, politely yet firmly decide to be her own person and assert her independence.
		Lulu cooks and serves as family members chat, interrupting their conversation with further demands on Lulu.

		Lulu Bett, 34, lives with her sister and brother-in-law, and they have both turned her into a drudge and taken away her self-esteem and confidence.
		Lulu is not goal-oriented, interesting or witty; she is overly ordinary, mousy by degrees and excessively hesitant about everything and anything.
		In her brief union/respit, Lulu finds a kind of independence that she never felt before, and when the marriage is no more, she uses her past marital experience as a catalyst to start a new life away from her annoyingly ungrateful family.

		His distinctly convex face, its thick, rosy flesh, thick mouth and cleft chin gave Lulu once more that bold sense of looking—not at him, for then she was shy and averted her eyes—but at his photograph at which she could gaze as much as she would.
		Lulu felt this woman's superiority of experience over her own, and smiled at her from a world of fellowship.
		Lulu hardly heard what he said, it was so pleasant to have him talking to her in this confidential fashion; and she was pleasantly aware that his manner was open to misinterpretation.

		If all pictures ran up as high a score as does "Miss Lulu Bett," reviewing them would be an unalloyed joy; unfortunately such is far from being the case.
		"Miss Lulu Bett" fairly brims over with human interest, pathos, and the hard-to-duplicate comedy touches of Theodore Roberts.
		Lulu Bett, as the heroine, is the human pack-horse in the family of her sister, with whom she makes her home.

		In Robinson is a difference from the silent film this piece was modeled on because Robinson is right on the stage with his piano, at times a subtle part of the action.
		Lulu, the embodiment of feminine sexuality, passes through brief relationships with a long succession of lovers mostly in Berlin high society, and then reaps the whirlwind in the final scene in London.
		The romance and despair of Lulu carried a hint of German expressionism, but the sense I took home was the inevitable end of a hedonistic theatrical lifestyle.

	Miss Lulu Bett - Play Detail- Theatre In Chicago
		The first Pulitzer Prize winning play by a women explores early twentieth century feminism through the story of a single women who discovers her own voice and independence when she falls in love with a free-spirited adventurer.
		But Butterfield's brittle Ina and Riffenburg's oily, condescending Dwight rarely deviate beyond the single notes struck early on, and their interplay with Adelman's Lulu lacks the impeccable crispness that Gale's well-made script demands.
		The prize was a first for a woman, but historical curiosity is only the second-best reason to see Frank Merle's revival for Keyhole Theatre Company, whose current season is devoted to Pulitzer winners.

	Miss Lulu Betts, a CurtainUp review
		Miss Lulu Bett is also interesting for being in the forefront of literature that departed from the idealized picture of the small midwestern town as a peaceful place inhabited by happy, sharing, loving "folks." The Deacons reflect the general narrowness of the town of Warbleton in which they live.
		The fact that Gale rewrote the original ending to appease public complaints about her play's immorality, shows that the village mentality was everywhere and that the author, unlike Lulu, did not display the courage of her convictions.
		While Angela Reed's Lulu is the evening's grandest performance, the supporting players all fully inhabit their roles.
