This one is handsome, melodious, appealing to ear & eye rather than funnybone. It is the sort of play in which, by 11 o'clock, most of the actors are impersonating their grandchildren, for it begins in 1881, ends in 1933.

With the light of battle in his eye, an undivulged dictatorial plan in his battered head and his right ear tilted up as if listening to the guiding voice of the Angel Gabriel, he calls his Cabinet, starts weeding out unwilling tools. Unlike other dictators he resolutely refuses to use Federal troops for civil duty, to choke off a press which unanimously howls against him.
