When wound up, Les Moineaux Avares pick at pebbles with uncanny realism. Massacre! is a re-named old-fashioned toy-merely a cardboard shooting gallery in which figures of men and women may be laid low with a popgun. For some occult reason there seems to be selling magic in the new name...
...special guitar duet with vocal accompaniment to be given by two Latin-American Harvard students, J. L. Cordova '31 and Manuel Manduley '31. This Mexican folk song rendition, which will be incorporated in the flesta scene of the third act, is expected not only to lend additional beauty and realism to the production, but also to supplement the stringed orchestra which the Dramatic Club is assembling from its regular music unit especially for the play...
...other opens for him, you would think of "Enoch Arden" or foresee at least the old pattern of passion, quarrel, and reconciliation. And since all stories are old stories, the pattern you foresaw is here, but since some never become familiar you would hardly foresee the patient, particular realism which makes this German "Enoch Arden" into living, modern truth, or guess the force of the emotion shaping the layers of incident to an ending stripped of grandiloquence. Struggling to get out of Siberia, the two comrades (there are only three people in the cast) thirst in a desert composed obviously...

And as in Kipling, the writing is character portraiture, rather than development. Consequently the people are painted in rather brighter colors than strict realism allows, with its penchant for neutrals. The effects must be created quickly--partly because so many, almost too many, characters are introduced--and the characterization is more rapid, more intense, more dramatic than in the works of, say Sterne or Madge Kennedy. It is, moreover, very good on the whole...
