...Little's acting was remarkable for its restraint and his understanding of the part. He never got "out of character" and, save in the drilling scene, he did not over-act. Mr. Williams, as Peer, the Deacon, and Mr. Packard, as the bailiff, showed real talent and never failed to make the most of their opportunities. Mr. Skinner was wholly delightful as Erasmus's younger brother. One could go on through the whole cast-- the acting was good throughout.

The fall of his pride and his final humility are the themes around which the play is built. V. P. Williamson Unc., as Peer, who is a pretentious deacon, also plays an important role.

...dusty shells of a dying season and Sever Hall a fit subject for a systematic experiment with dynamite. Watch the professor: he feels it too. If anyone were within miles to observe him during the of attenuated seven-minute interval before his class, he too would be seen to peer dreamily out of the window, to yawn cavernously, and scratch his unhappy neck in anticipation of that soft collar which he is to assume in June. He too is looking forward to white ducks and seaside tennis courts and steady jib-filling breezes. He too is making furtive plans...
