Madame Simone makes the most of her two "big" scenes--one where her father forces her secret from her and the other where she discovers Robert's suicide. The artistic restraint as well as the emotional power of her acting deserve the highest praise. And mention must be made of Mr. Corrigan (the father) and Mr. Arden (Robert). Each was unusually successful in an unusually difficult part. Credit, too, should be given to the translator of the play the English version has little of the "importedfrom-France" atmosphere. Altogether, not a play for post-examination revels, but for the serious...
...remedy for preventing monopolies in restraint of trade is not to be gained by enforcing the Sherman Anti-Trust Act nor by breaking up corporations. In order to prevent excessive monopoly, we should create trade commissions, both state and national, provided with the same power that the Inter-state Commerce Commission has had over the railroads.

...Moeldner played the movement from the Schumann concerto with fluent and well-founded technique, an excellent interpretive style, although he tended at times to undue self-restraint. The orchestra accompanied alike with freedom and self-control in a manner that reflected highly upon its skill as well as that of its conductor...
...probably costly; the dresses of the leading ladies and of the debutantes are extremely handsome. It is to be hoped that the mass dances will go with more precision and smoothness on future presentations. In the matter of independent "acts," "stunts," or side-shows, this play shows exceptional restraint; the three introduced are really first-class, Mr. Dana's "larriet dance" being a beautiful novelty. The reviewer, however, of Gothic tastes, hopes that local hits, horse-play, and clowns are not to be permanently banished from the Pudding boards...
