...having seen the worst half of "His People" first, and the first part last, we found it a tolerably dull production. From advance notices, we know that others in better authority caught the thrill of this little Jewish household and admired the skill of Rudolph Schildekraut in the leading part.

Nor had he performed some new miracle with his keen scalpel. But one and all praised him for a habit that he has, a talented habit uncommon among surgeons. Dr. Hybbinette has a rich tenor voice. He has won many a prize by exercising...
