...plot is only too familiar; it is too laboriously and unconvincingly developed to send that creepy sensation up the collective spines of the audience. The play takes a prologue and one uninteresting act to get under way; but the last two acts have at least the virtue of holding fast one's attention. The action depends on the villainous Frank Devereaux's efforts to seduce innocent women and the resultant triangle of false suspicion, threats, and "evidence."

The Red and White scored twice in the closing minutes of the first half, the University failing to make further score, though playing aggressively throughout the second period...
