Geology 5 deals with the historical aspect of the subject. It does not lend itself to as interesting lectures as does Geology 4. Professor Mather's lively nature, however, makes even an account of the Devonian Age less musty than it might else be. The laboratory work is eminently uninspiring.

The most finished performance is supplied by Ann Andrews, brought surprisingly into the second act to give the younger female fanatics the benefit of her life story. Her beauty and the sure delicacy of her acting lend a brief element of perfection to a comedy hampered by fitful mediocrity...
