...Great Harrington, This play makes a bungling attempt at the temporal trickery which Mr. Henry James originally thought up and which was later used in a play called Berkeley Square. But instead of plausibly explaining the hiatus which exists between the dead past and the present as did Berkeley Square, the playwright of The Great Barrington simply has the swashbuckling Barrington ancestors flit among their haughty descendants in the ancient house on the banks of the Hudson. It develops that the democratic daughter of the modern Barringtons wants to marry a poor but honest young man. She is thwarted, however...
...such an open break should occur in a U. S. political party it almost certainly would mean at least a hiatus in the breaker's party career.

A change to the Department of Justice, the Government's enforcing arm for all other Federal criminal statutes (except those of the Post Office Department) was soon...
Another year. Florence has had her baby and lived. Junior has recovered and is at school in Connecticut. Walter's business has trebled. But a hiatus has occurred in the duet of Florence & Walter.

An old admirer asks Florence to elope with him; she is on the verge of so doing but the old admirer refuses to let her take along her baby. That spoils the elopement. Walter at this point comes barging in, flower-laden, to find Florence at the telephone asking Junior, whom...
Life will go on; the longer Reading Period may even be a success. Only, perhaps, there will be heard on that opening night in mid-May one mighty tribute to the first hiatus in the old union on the stage of Harvard and Radcliffe; a single great welling sob, acknowledging the Harvard heaven houriless...
