...Criticize a play by making fun of the people who see it may be a trifle unfair, yet "Somebody's Luggage" is of a weight so nicely fitted to the shoulders of its audience that we may be pardoned for the roundabout method. Those who go to such a play desire neither the delicacy of an English comedy, nor what we often have in a French one, a hinting at things not said.

Personally, I believe in a space defence where every man covers a certain space. If this is done effectively, criss cross...
