The Futurity Winner

On at 4.36, 19 min, full stage.  The finish of this piece tells the whole story.  I don’t care a whole lot for the company, although I doubt if Benedict and Miss Shirley could be much improved upon.  Some of the action needs livening up, and several of the situations could be bettered; still, as I have said before, “It is all in the finish”, the race scene, which is remarkably well staged.  I have never seen it fail to thoroughly arouse an audience, and it got a tremendous amount of applause this afternoon.
