Paul Sparer's blunt and pragmatic Cassius is fine in the first half of the play, but degenerates into overwrought fustian towards the end. In his quarrel with Brutus before Philippi, his low delivery of "Brutus, bait not not me," with shaking knee, is ten times more powerful than all the torrent of screaming and bellowing he soon gives vent...
There is nothing unBiblical in this conception of the Christ.

"Oh," exclaimed Multimillionaire Kerr, "I know...
...centuries. At this synod, the patriarchs themselves will make canon law on such matters as litur gical revisions, calendar reform, theological minutiae, and relations between the churches. Thus the patriarchs themselves stayed away from Rhodes; the conference was presided over by venerable Chrysostom, 81, Metropolitan of Neapolis, Thasos and Philippi, and was actually run by an Athenagoras protégé-slim, black-bearded and also named Chrysostom, the Metropolitan of Myron-who served as the meeting's executive secretary.
