Within the limitations of this plot, the acting is superb. The teacher, played by Dorothea Wieck, is effective because she acts with amazing restraint. Hertha Thiele, as the tear-stained orphan, is occasionally coy, but she is usually anemic, thus revealing her psychological state. Director Leontine Sagan, however, pushes her a little too far in the last scene, where she becomes a sort of warmed-over Ophelia.

...told," he said, "that on the one hand I'm coy and undecided and on the other hand I'm eager and anxious. I've even heard it said that I cannot make up my mind." While the newsmen scribbled, Stevenson promised to announce his decision-soon. "I shall tell you what I'm going to do," he said, "by the end of November, and possibly some time before...
