...Help Yourself" there are excellent characterizations, particularly by Frank Thomas (an old hand) and John Taylor: they are types, but convincing types. But in addition the whole performance possesses a unity and an activity rare in these productions; the scherzo established by the entrance of Stringer is maintained unto the final curtain. The part of Stringer is kept on the jump by Ramon Greenleaf, but gains nothing beyond its writing in his performance. An admirable sketch is supplied by Arthur Barry in the part of Bittlesby, who switches from effeminate efficiency to an entertaining attitude of merrily...
...come out so clear and controlled. Schubert's Unfinished Symphony sing with such freshness that the audience could forget the flocks of frightened sparrows which swooped and twittered above their heads.
