...home team's goals provided a sour ending to a generally off-key day. The Crimson player's trapping and passing were woeful, and no one exhibited half the speed of the wind. The absence of injured center half Richie Hardy probably hurt, as Abi Azikiwe, shifted from the right, had trouble controlling the middle...

Susan Channing has the part of Isabella to deal with -- one of the most ambiguous roles ever written. Yet she manages to be both touching and priggish, and she is always believable. And Paul Schmidt, though he may not show the power and the glory of the Duke, does do a creditable job with a part that goes on forever and ever...
