...Steed (by Paul Vincent Carroll; produced by Eddie Dowling) is, thematically, much the same play as Carroll's Shadow and Substance. But it is a better play. Shadow and Substance leaned too heavily on portraiture; The White Steed also has plot. Shadow and Substance was enveloped in a cloud of mysticism; The White Steed shows the warm flesh of humanity.

Likable and expansive, he talks incessantly, wrinkles his nose when amused, which is often. Though his job is listening to the public, he is a poor listener personally. Visitors have a hard time getting a word in edgewise but rarely mind because the Weaver conversation is equipped not only with a store of fresh ideas but with an incredible volume...
