...first hearing more rhapsodic, although there are episodes of beauty and imaginative power.- Mr. Hancock possesses an agreeable voice, carefully cultivated; his enunciation is particularly distinct. He entered well into the spirit of each song in his group. Mr. Locke's "Song of a Dream" exhibited a sustained lyric mood, with an admirably varied accompaniment. Mr. Roepper called into service an ultra-modern harmonic style, which made his song the most noticeably individual of the group, in delicate delineation and poetic suggestion. Mr. Lynes's "The Wind" was undeniably graphic, and the forceful accompaniment added much to the treatment...
This leads again to consideration of the ambitious quality of the play. Its mood is the mood of poetic drama, but its matter is contemporary and actual. One is given at times a conviction that if a millionaire, instead of a practical but unmoneyed idealist were leading them, the Jews would follow as one man. So much of necessity has money meant to them. But then again one sees only the sublime doggedness of their one highest ideal-resisting compromise.

Wheelock, are scarcely more successful, owing to the writer's tendency to be, fussy with his imagery, and to gasp whenever the mood requires powerful inarticulacy. "Nineveh," by J. S. Miller, Jr., has an ingenious conceit, well worked...
...that when a stranger came, he needed watching. There are many dormant minds to whom this Review with its new and unknown character and possibilities will supply a wholesome awakening stimulus; and doubtless, their critical attention will be a stimulus to the Review. The second motive comes from the mood of expectation in which multitudes of our worthiest men face the future. It was said of Emerson that every new person to whom he was presented was greeted by him as if this person might prove to be the friend for whom the seer had been looking, but whom...
