...rink is a tribute to one of the finest sportsmen America has ever known, "Hobey" Baker. On the football field or in hockey Baker was an inspiration to everyone who played with him or against him. Not only was his ability as an athlete a constant delight to watch, but his sportsmanship, the clean spirit in which he did everything, made him loved everywhere athletics meant more than the mere winning or losing of games.

His gradual degeneration from brazen self-assurance to abject terror proceeds by subtle and orderly degrees, and carries the audience along in cumulative terror. In the first act, a dialogue between the pullman-porter, emperor and Smithers, a while trader on his island empire, is all that makes...
