But the play itself adds up to little more than a somewhat melodramatic series of bare repetitions of this concept which, admirable as it may be in itself, requires something more than persistent enunciation to become entertainment. Similarly the Dramatic Club, far from meaning harm, has attempted to resurrect what it believed, along with a small minority of New York drama critics and theatergoers, to be a work of art.

One would like to believe that "Christian" politics would resurrect Europe to sanity and stability. . . .
