...with the overflowing florescence of Mr. H. T. Parker of the Transcript. Sometimes we doubt his phrases, "a rambling story-play of no real central fulcrum"; sometimes his judgement, "in the speech of farewell he achieves the superlative work of genius"; sometimes his grammar, "it all seems to just miss being superb."
