...particular stage of civilization." A little thought will quickly reveal how keenly this analyzes the general ideal of education today. It has been left for Barrie, one of the "adults," to point out the dangers of such a conception, and to clear the way for change. Youth must not fear to think for itself; it must not trust Age; it must not believe all that it is told. Surely, men will declare, this is heresy.

All in all, however, "The Chocolate Soldier" can take its place without fear beside the other musical attractions now running, as was amply attested by its enthusiastic reception before a packed house on Monday night...
