...play reminds you how absorbing ethical problems may be, even when they arise among such pastel make-believes as Mr. Milne's characters. And though his answers are questionable, Mr. Milne knows how to dramatize his questions.

Even her 150-h. p. auxiliary motor was built of nonmagnetic stuff...

Long interested in educational* and social work, he was a faithful donor to Jane Addams' famed Hull House on Chicago's Wrest Side...
