...seem to take the game as seriously as their rivals; nor did it appear necessary for them to do so. It was like watching the Princeton Varsity play against St. Mark's. A great horde filled the Yankee Stadium to watch the Oregon Aggies stop Ken Strong, push over the supposedly indestructible N. Y, U. line and score 25 points...
Hauptmann's play begins in the forest with Rautendelein and three of her faery ilk; Nickelmann, the old man of the well, all moss and weeds and dripping; a witch whose herbs were powerless against humans, and a mischievous faun whose first prank was to push down into a lake the bell which had just been cast by a certain villager named Heinrich.

How a girl connives with her lover to push her invalid husband into the Seine and how her subsequent life advances with recriminations, nightmares, protests, to a suicide in the dead man's room in the firelight is told on the screen with the beautiful realism that was the movement of Zola's mind. Splendidly acted by a Franco-German company hitherto unknown...
