...newest, and suffering as he is from a cold, his personality does not impress one as especially magnetic. Boston weather may be handed the blame for this man's indisposition, and his cheerfulness and willingness to try almost made up for his Ark wit. Playing opposite him was Miss Hazel Cox, who seemed a trifle gross both in physique and manner...
...play was exceptionally well acted in every detail. Miss Fulton, the author, lived the title role. Never once did she lose her grasp on character or audience. Her slang was never forced, her humor was always delicate and unflagging, and she extracted every particle of sympathetic enjoyment from a splendid characterization. The supporting company was a wonderful relief from those we usually see here in "the provinces." Mr. Stone as the genius played a none too clearly written role with fine care and insight, while the young brother was kept simple and unaffectedly sincere by Mr. Lowe. Miss Ives played...

Her comedy--for it is only she and Mr. Lawford that lift "Divorcons" into really high comedy--is a delight; and her tragedy in the playlet is simple and absolutely convincing. She is charming to watch--delicate of color and fragilely beautiful--and wonderful to hear--in laugher or tears Mr. Lawford is the perfection of case, distinction, and effectiveness--in him is a touch of the whimsy that pervades Barrie's writings. Mr. Herbert as the well drawn husband is powerful and real in every detail of voice and manner. The surrounding...
