...said of it. It comes to the Wilbur next week, displacing Katherine Cornell's vehicle. "The Age of Innocence". A gripping war play that was first written for production by an amateur mens' club in London and hence contains no female parts, it is even more effective than the success of some years ago, "What Price Glory". In common with most of the more recent literature about the war, it makes no use of melodramatic narrative, but instead paints a series of unforgettable characters and scenes inside a front-line dugout...

She was attended by thirty thousand physicians who did all in their power to save her, but with comparatively little success. She rallied a little in the second inning but a terrific relapse in the third defied the most heroic measures and reduced her pulse, respiration and temperature until they were perceptible to only the most prejudiced observers.
