...three nights with the Denishawn Dancers, and the first U. S. performance of Job: A Masque for Dancing, with music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, scenario by Geoffrey Langdon Keynes after the designs of Poet-Artist William Blake, choreography by Dancer Ted Shawn. In eight scenes and an epilog were shown the machinations of Satan (Dancer Shawn) in getting Job (Arthur Moor) to curse God (William Kennedy) for taking from him his family and riches. Though Satan succeeded (as he does not in the Bible story), he was banished by God, driven back to Hell through a gateway which resembled...

A per fect ending is the epilog in which Marie's little son hears the news from children in the street, goes on unconcernedly riding his hobby-horse...
...famous short story for presentation on the stage, it was never a play in the strict terms of dramatic construction, but rather the concluding act of the unwritten play that was the previous life of Galsworthy's central character. Old English is at once a portrait and the epilog to a portrait; it is steeped in a mood of finality which would give it dignity even if it were less thoughtfully written. When George Arliss did it on the stage a few critics ventured with their praise the criticism that he seemed too frail and sharpened...
