...will be recalled that this actress was welcomed by the London critics as one of the greatest of Americans (in Anna Christie). Her interpretation of the unlettered waitress who married by mail in the present play substantiates their judgment. So brilliantly did she play the part, so perfectly defined were her weaknesses and pathos, so irresistible her reading of the wistful lines that she swept the audience from its mental moorings. It is the opinion of these skeptics that to Miss Lord alone is due the thorough public triumph...
...This modern dancing? Ah, it is wild they rush and twist like wild people!" gesticulated Madame Anna Pavlowa, world famous dancer, when asked for her opinion of modern ball-room dancing by a CRIMSON reporter who interviewed her after the performance at the Boston Opera house on Friday night.

Since the plays have been played and published for some time, their content is familiar. It only remains to be noted that the Provincetown group set and performed them notably. There are no star parts which pull above the surface...
...same night, another Russian lady, at another theatre, was filling the Manhattan engagements of what is declared to be her farewell tour. Outside that other theatre was displayed an advertisement familiar to five continents, simply worded-the most arrogant advertisement in the world. It read in large letters ANNA PAVLOWA; in small ones, as if the epithet was too indisputable to require emphasis, "The Incomparable." Karsavina is the only woman who has ever been capable of challenging the justice of that epithet. How rash was her challenge? A large audience went to see. For them she danced. In chevelure...
