...introduction of a romance between the prisoner and the warden's daughter. But it would take much more than this to emasculate Mr. Flavin's play. Largely through the gruff eloquence of the high-principled warden, magnificently acted by Arthur Byron, Mr. Flavin damns the tragic system that man has developed to police the race, makes the so-called science of penology seem as hideously false as some black, antiquated alchemy.

He said: "I paraphrase a tragic sentence of one of the characters when I say that I hope that the banning of this brilliant play from the Boston stage as well as the tyrannical banning of fine books from the shops of our city will some day be a Strange Interlude between the historic and renowned Boston of the past and a gracious, tolerant, and civilized future...

Our government is deeply concerned ... the fine spirit shown by the British government. . . . American Jews . . . have demonstrated fine sentiment and ideals. . . . Out of these tragic events will come greater security and greater safeguards for the future under which the steady rehabilitation of Palestine as a true homeland will be even more assured. . . .
