...hundred thousand students of non-proletarian origin from high schools and colleges, seems to be an unfortunate continuation of the Communist policy of destroying the bourgeois class. In aiming to provide educational facilities for students in the lower walks of life, the Soviet authorities are working with a beneficent intent, but in persisting in elevating one class at the expense of another, their wisdom is more than doubtful.

It is Zangwill determined to grow old gracefully. He is intent on raising the dust by thumping sofa cushions which have already had the stuffing knocked out of them by numerous writers. His stodgy play is only occasionally relieved with flashes of wit, and sudden fits of farcical frenzy...
