The offender, if he could realize the trouble he is causing and the warth he calls forth would probably mond his ways...
...undeniable that the acting of Mr. Hampden did fit into the spirit in which the play was written. He made the most of his dramatic moments and brought each act up to a startling close. As the keen witted Cardinal Richelieu he brought out both the clever perception of the master plotter and at the same time he added an almost pathetic feeling of futility and remorse that must come from a life occupied with only intrigue and statecraft.
