...this show is composed of 18 inmates of a working women's hotel. Such a situation has comparatively fresh dramatic potentialities, but the story is archaic and the fact that all dealings with the unseen men characters have to be carried on offstage strips the play of vigor.

Each phase of the debacle is outlined with unflagging vigor and a wild flow of words. Finally Phaeton Andrews, last man to survive, after a voyage from rotting New York to savage England, ages slowly to his death in 2027, his mind a strange confusion of scraps of philosophy, politics, sociology, psychology, erotica, all the arts and sciences, in consonance with...
