...face of such trying conditions the company has done remarkably well. Miss Warren plays the role of the wife, the psychological changes of whom constitute the dramatic action, with a great deal of energy. In fact, she is some-times so eager that she gets ahead of the play and on one occasion is insulted before the words are uttered. Her breathlessness ruins many of her effects, but her vitality should win the favour of everyone. Mr. Roberts plays the absurdly romantic husband and self-centered statue of respectability even more ably. His part, however, is much simpler; he undergoes...
...current number of the Advocate suggests, with two exceptions, that the editors are somewhat disposed to play safe. Mr. Stout, in "The Keepers of the Light", contributes an exceptionally good story: swift, idiomatic, colorful, with a good deal of sense of character.

William and Tilli go down to Monk's Hall, where Trevor at his cousin's expense has organized an asylum for greedy and communistic artists. Tilli's purpose has a great deal to do with Trevor, whose casual desertion of her in London has moved her to the effort of retaliation. Monk's Hall is swept by the draughts of a thousand petty enmities, jealousies, hungers, hatreds. When William finds Trevor in his wife's bedroom he does the natural thing, the thing that was expected of him. He takes a shotgun and follows...
