...bound to bring reminiscences, of similar doings off the stage. But is is not at all necessary to the success of the play that the polotical and social innuendo strike home.

For the most part he speaks his lines with precision and touches of old-school austerity, but bursts now and then into roars of epileptic passion which old-school critics deprecated as inarticulate.
