Clare Fames is an admirable foil as Lady Macbeth, sharp and thrusting as a dagger against Hackett's tremendous battle-axe personality. Moffat Johnston (as Macduff) and the supporting company are well chosen. The massive settings suit this dreadnought production.

...story concerns the doings of young Rolo Webster, who has great aspirations to act Hamlet, and accordingly employs the services of Mr. Stein, a theatrical manager, in order to produce Shakespeare in New York.
