"Well constructed and brightly written."--_Scotsman._
"Merit resides in the clearness with which the characters are
thrown, as it were, upon the screen.... They are familiar
types. We admire the freedom as well as the skill with which
the author has sketched the eccentricities of the
comrades."--_The Sheffield Independent._
"All the characters are finely drawn and are full of
significance. The author is to be congratulated upon her
insight, message, and dramatic instinct."--_The Christian
Commonwealth._

great deal that is clever and amusing in the play."--_The
Glasgow Evening News._
"Miss Cotterill's play betrays the Shawian influence.... It
is an entertaining play."--_Justice._
