Senator Reed (Democrat): "His melody of voice, grace of gesture and majesty of presence were only excelled by his modesty...
...high tragedy in "The King Orders the Drums to be Beaten", sentiment in "A Winter Evening", sentimentality in "The Arrival at Bethlehem", sugar-sweet delicacy in many others, and varying degrees of piquancy, satire, burlesque, and buffoonery in the rest.

Is ZAT So?-A prizefight parable takes place in a Fifth Avenue home. Terribly tough and terribly funny. THE GUARDSMAN-Suave and sentient comedy of home life among the actors played perfectly by Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. THE FIREBRAND-Benvenuto Cellini indulges in some medieval bedroom ri- baldries. THE SHOW-OFF-Large talk...
