It is a folk play, but without the easy movement of plot which that expression might imply; local color, to be sure, is there, but woven with skill into the fabric of a tremendously swiftmoving drama; and, moreover, the folk atmosphere is not mere adornment, but has a vital part in the development of the plot.
