...Hinkley, a special student at Radcliffe. All three plays are serious in subject and mode of treatment. "Transfer of Property" deals with Christian Science and New England life in general. The second of the three plays, "The Little Cards," concerns the life of an immigrant on Ellis Island. Its plot reveals the famous Black Hand Society. An old woman of 80 and a man of 62 years are the chief characters in Miss Hinkley's "The Reunion." It is a play dealing with age and sentiment...

We never miss the speaking, for we are absorbed in the delightfully foolish little plot and amazed at the grace of the whole thing. Pierrot's home and phrynette's boudoir furnish two admirable settings for an entire evolution of emotions and from nonsense to a tinge of tragedy, we are appealed to from a variety of feelings...
