...George Sommes, as Job, uses a trained voice, feeling gesture, and deeply thoughtful modulations, to bring subtle variety of mood and thought into an almost motionless stage-picture. Scene follows scene with scarcely a change of position, each motion of arm or body being made to serve for deepest significance. The three misunderstanding friends, and Eilhu too, are individualized and play their parts each in perfect key; this must be, or the play would never carry. The lighting, mechanically perfect, seems to grow from the characters themselves, shifting with their mood, and always throwing the picture into the most appropriate...
...continental theatre, and is considered a masterpiece of expressionistic writing, giving a wide scope of interpretation to all the artists of the theatre. For several seasons it has been included in the reportoire of the Moscow Arts Theatre. In it Andreyev may be seen in a genial mood in contrast to the bitter cynicism of "He Who Gets Slapped".

Why is it that Increase Mather's Bible is two inches thicker than any other extant Bible? Perhaps you already know that Increase Mather's ghost rapped a Freshman soundly on the knuckles for accidentally pulling out a musical comedy program with his handkerchief while bending over the pious manuscripts...
...friend and her naive discomfort over her bills. Mr. Clive was a bit slow in falling into the husband's character, but when he reached the famous quarrel scene he was at his best, and between them they held the audience laugh-bound with trivial turns of mood for a quarter of an hour. It was a satisfaction to have Mr. Wingfield in the company again. His range is narrower than Mr. Clive's, but in the type of part which he has in this play--that of the puzzled father--he would be hard to surpass. The others...
