Description Alfred Dampier 'is always self-controlled, with a perfect mastery of gesture and of modulated of voice, never descending to the "ranting" that is the resource of the average actor ... Miss Russell's tragic,pathetic acting at the end of Scene 2 in the first act evoked hearty and well-merited applause ... the stage is too small to allow of much if the scenery Mr Dampier has brought with him being used ... the furniture and accessories used in the pavilion and library scenes were lent by the Mutual Stores Company.
