"In 'Michael and his Lost Angel' Mr. Henry Arthur Jones has enriched, not our theatre only, but our literature, with a beautiful love-story. . . . Where shall we look, in modern fiction or drama, for a large, simple, lyrical love-story, neither philosophic, nor analytic, nor moral, but celebrating with the directness of a ballad or folk-tale, the potency for life or death of the divine illusion? I can think of nothing which so nearly fulfils this definition as Mr. Jones's finely inspired romance. It is by far--oh, very far!--the best thing he has done." --WILLIAM ARCHER in _The World._ "One of the great comforts of criticising the work of Mr. Henry Arthur Jones is that the critic can go straight to the subject-matter without troubling about the dramatic construction. In the born writer the style is the man; and with the born dramatist the play is the subject. Mr. Jones's plays grow: they are not cut out of bits of paper and stuck together. . . . When I respond to the appeal of Mr. Jones's art by throwing myself sympathetically into his characteristic attitude of mind, I am conscious of no shortcoming in 'Michael and his Lost Angel.' It then seems to me to be a genuinely sincere and moving play, feelingly imagined, written with knowledge as to the man and insight as to the woman by an author equipped not only with the experience of an adept playwright, and a kindly and humorous observer's sense of contemporary manners, but with that knowledge of spiritual history in which Mr. Jones's nearest competitors seem so stupendously deficient. Its art is in vital contact with the most passionate religious movement of its century, as fully quickened art always has been. . . . The melancholy truth of the matter is that the English stage got a good play, and was completely and ignominiously beaten by it." --GEORGE BERNARD SHAW in _The Saturday Journal._ "Exquisitely touching, human, sad, and painful is the new play by Mr. Henry Arthur Jones. . . . Mr. Jones has the courage of his convictions, and presents uncompromisingly his problem. That his work is as capable as it is thorough will also be conceded. 'Michael and his Lost Angel' is a fine, we are not sure that we ought not to say a great play. Granting the choice of a subject, it is difficult to imagine treatment more masterly or more effective than it receives." --_Daily Graphic._
