...George Arliss has brought a Barrie play of marked distinction to the Hollis Street Theatre in "The Well Remembered Voice", which is given in conjunction with Hubert Henry Davies' three act comedy, "The Mollusc." A war story with a spiritual theme has to be unusually convincing to hold the interest of the theatre going audience today--the public is rather well fed up now on the war.

...Professor's Love Story," as Mr. Arliss said after the second act, first produced by E. S. Willard, has still the freshness and delicacy of its first nights. What is remarkable in it is typical of the genius of Barrie. It is the power of rising form delicate nothings to real emotions with the break between so manages as to give the greatest effect.
