Leslio Wray, who gave an exceptionally in- telligent rendering of this, one of the most dramatic of American plays, As always with Mrs. Wray's dramatic work, her interpretation was charac- terized by a full appreciation of the dramatic values of the dialogue, and by an adequate sensing of the spirit uai import of the play.
