...apparent in the play we shall hear much more from and of Mr. Andrews within the next few years in the world of the theatre. "America Passes By," his one act play, given last year by the Dramatic Club, heralded a sincerity, delicacy, and insight sadly rare among our present-day dramatists. In the longer play of this week we find more traits of excellence, if not always fully developed at least suggested.

Straight, of the International Corporation, who negotiated the American side of the Chinese loan, and Professor Vida D. Scudder, of Wellesley...
...Allinson '17, in a tone of exalted idealism, seeks to show a parallelism between the "bloodless revolution" of 1688 and that which seems to him involved in the victory of Mr. Wilson. One need not be convinced in order to envy the writer his power of seeing our present-day policies in such a haze of glory...
