...analyzing the traits, tendencies and distinguishing peculiarities of Americans and Englishmen in his recent article "Getting Together," in the Outlook. A question frequently asked, he states, is "Why can't you people in England be a bit kinder in your attitude toward us here in America?" In replying, the author invents a dialogue between an American and an Englishman. The Briton extenuates his attitude on the hypothesis that "he that is not for us is against us," and since America has withheld an official endorsement of the Allied cause, the influence is unfavorable...

Her slang was never forced, her humor was always delicate and unflagging, and she extracted every particle of sympathetic enjoyment from a splendid characterization. The supporting company was a wonderful relief from those we usually see here in "the provinces." Mr. Stone as the genius played a none too clearly written role with fine care and insight, while the young brother was kept simple and unaffectedly sincere by Mr. Lowe. Miss Ives played...
