* The Dilettanti ' is not only a farce, but to modern ears a travesty of a farce, bristling with ' asides,' disguises, and all that outworn paraphernalia which has now acquired a genuine museum quality. Gregory Comfit , an old business man, has married as his second wife a fashionable young woman who insists on his buying an estate in Warwickshire and then proceeds to turn it, not perhaps into a bear garden, but certainly into a nest of nightingales, with her coterie of parasitical poets, painters, mummers, and musicians.
