After a meeting in support of M. Raoul Sabatir, Nationalist (Millerand- Poincaré Party) candidate in the Municipal elections, a number of young Nationalists walked into a Communist guet-apens (ambush). Many shots rang out, three Nationalists fell dead, eight others were wounded, two mortally. The Nationalists were unarmed...
...Ervine's Jane Clegg appeared the next year; declared that the "art theatre" had achieved new and notable dimensions in the U. S. when the Guild gave Heartbreak House, Mr. Pirn Passes By and Liliom among other plays of its third season. With He Who Gets Slapped, Ambush, Back to Methuselah, R.U.R., Peer Gynt, The Adding Machine, The Devil's Disciple, Fata Morgana and still others the Guild continued its conquest of an ever-growing public that looks to it for all that is broadly and deeply discerning in U. S. stage production...
...latest venture in the dramatic field in Boston,--the Stage Guild. This organization, which is now beginning its third week at the Peabody Play House, plans to produce, for two weeks each a number of plays which would otherwise never be seen outside of New York.

"March Hares", as its title indicates, is a play of temperamentalists, of deadly serious extremists without the slightest saving spark of humor. The most extreme, most serious, most temperamental of them all is Geoffrey Wareham; the most dynamic, intense teacher of elocution who ever upset a household, The household, we might explain, consists of Mrs. Rodney, who tries hard to keep her equilibrium amid the general confusion her daughter Janet, the fiancee...
...seeks the Peabody Playhouse even at a little inconvenience and, one by one, lays its dollar on the sill of the box-office. (For so modest and considerate is the price.) As obviously, the Guild cannot depend upon the ordinary playgoing public hereabouts. Otherwise, "regular" theatres would be housing "Ambush" and "March Hares" Little interested in so serious, sane, unselfish an undertaking are the highbrows by trademark. Encouragement in word, support in deed, must come from that younger public which would take its pleasure in the theatre, but would have that pleasure intelligent, candid, of life as it goes here...
