...German influence has disappeared completely--on my last trip through Turkey I did not see a single German nor was there a single German store or bank open for business.

Mr. Williams, as Peer, the Deacon, and Mr. Packard, as the bailiff, showed real talent and never failed to make the most of their opportunities. Mr. Skinner was wholly delightful as Erasmus's younger brother. One could go on through the whole cast-- the acting was good throughout. From start to finish, it was a most artistic production of a highly entertaining play...
