| Description |
…Herr Bandmann's conception of the character of the Moor is one of great grandeur…. Mr Reynolds was an extremely good Iago. Instead of,as is sometimes done, making a heavy melodramatic villain of the ancient, he made him an ordinary evry-day man of the world… There was no ranting in his utterances; he spoke every word…. |
