...scene, when Claire tells her Ironmaster she has never loved him, I watched M. Benedict, as the latter, to see how a French husband is supposed to act under such circumstances. The result was rather funny. M. Cassin, as the Duke, did not look very much like a nobleman--even a French nobleman. M. Lomon was excellent in a small role...
Miss Abarbanell, of "Madame Sherry" and "Merry Widow" fame, has the leading role and her work, after the first act, makes the evening more than satisfactory.

Miss Haidee Wright's beautiful voice was heard in the dubious part of Eve Chilcote. With the exception of the stars, it is the only part in the play which affords the slightest chance of human characterization. Mr. Handy sides and Mr. Robertson hardly succeed in conveying a proper illusion as English statesmen. Mr. Guy Bates Post in the leading role was always interesting and sometimes admirable...
