...play, as would be expected, is not dramatic, though it has a few brief dramatic moments. It is a succession of stage pictures, pictures that are a marvel of stage craft--pictures with reality, with geographical and historical interest, and at times of rare loveliness. The sprightly opening scenes take us to the old French colony of Nova Scotia, with the spinning wheel and the quaint costumes of Acadian peasants. The soft sylvan scene representing a shore of the southern Mississippi has peculiar charm, and the weirdness of the Indian wigwam and the trapper's hut in the wilds...

Though we realize perfectly that College vacations must be made by rule, still we feel that the rule should not be so iron-bound as to permit the obvious mistake of letting two tag-end days in Cambridge deprive five thousand students of two extra Sundays at home.
