This success, after all, is certainly not inexplicable. Miss Nichols has written a play of racial conflicts, tied together by every stock device of the theatre, with lines embodying the best Irish-Jewish jokes of the past few--to be charitable--years.

They are keen-edged tales, scabbarded in language...
...hope it will be the last, for such an act implies the existence of differences unwarranted by geographical and racial circumstances on this continent. Chile . . . will do all in her power to help America exhibit this plebiscite to the world as a model and as a genuine expression of that self-determination of peoples which is the axle on which revolves the very political existence of the New World...
