...they as valuable as it is claimed? Certainly they have had a distinct influence on modern art. But Clive Bell, one of the sanest of modern critics, says that he intends "to keep his head" about Negro art. He maintains that they show taste and skill, but not profundity of vision, and that they lack originality, duplicating without question the conventions of their predecessors for generation after generation.

Two of the principal roles were acted by Mr. Clive and Mr. Wingfield, who had done them almost as well before. Miss Willard played Eliza Dolittle with originality and grace. She was not able to make her flower-girl accent sufficiently distinct, except in the first scene, and this was perhaps the only serious flaw in her interpretation. Miss Willard...
