Miss Fontanne had a difficult characterization in Elizabeth for she was a rather colorless, weak sort as the author paints her, and it is hard to make such a person vital in such a play. Aside from her diction and a few unrestrained dramatics that were difficult to avoid, however, she turned in a creditable performance. Mr. Lunt assisted her with no great brilliancy, but as well as his lines would permit. And if the Court Fool was the epitome of Elizabethan wit and humor, "merrie England" is a euphemism...
...Quiet, colorless, eminently righteous is the Chicago Evening Post. It boasts the best financial, society and art pages in Chicago but is conservative to the point of impotence in local controversies.

...week by Thomas Albert Dwight ("Tad") Jones, Yale's famed coach for ten years who three years ago retired to his New Haven coal business. Tad Jones remembers 26 years of Big Three football. He was All-American quarterback himself in 1907. He was a hard-working but colorless coach; he originated few plays though he had the reputation of having invented some which he borrowed from his smart brother Howard J., who coaches University of Southern California. "Get rid of Jones- he's a boy scout leader," said Yale's Old Guard when the team...
