...characteristic in its use of Oriental color, while the dramatic portions are of great vigor and intensity. The style may be said to be Professor Paine's own, for it is neither like that of the modern French opera with its somewhat lighter mixture of the serious and the comic, nor like that of Wagner with its long monologues and extreme use of leading motives.

A star cast and a well balanced chorus are calculated to bring out all the good points...
...Williams '99 had an intelligent grasp of the character of Simon Eyre, a master shoemaker and kind ruler of his journeymen. Firk, the main comic character, was played by J. A. Macy '99, whose mobility of feature and agility of limb did much to enliven the scenes. The English Department might say of the part of C. L. Bouve '99 as Rowland Lacy that it was subjective.
