...rest of the story is to be found in the press dispatches from Russia, which tell how this able, forceful, enthusiastic international radical in the capacity of Minister of Foreign Affairs, without a shred of patriotism, with no love either for Russia or for Germany, has tried to stop the war on the east by methods which are likely to be highly disastrous to the Russian proletariat, and to prolong instead of shorten the war. Trotsky may not be pro-German, but neither is he pro-Russian. Such a leader can never build up a new Russian nation. Kerensky...

Its characters are masters of misunderstanding, they employ their subtlety in letting the obvious elude them; if they once stopped to think the whole show would be given away, so they never stop to think. Yet the play is charming, with its odor of jockeys and horse-racing, baronets and bachelor apartments, epigrams, good bad women and other pleasant things now out of date. True, the text now contains motors cars, and a subway...
