Commentaire:   


Presse: "The great Mr. Cohan, who is retired now from the stage and has nothing to do except write plays and stage a few by other fellows, has been at such a loss to fill the long evenings of late that he has gone about to many other theatres than his own.
He has gone with a pencil in his hand and a twinkle in his eyes, and, being something of a dramatic critic himself, has dashed off his impressions ....
It's a diplodocus. It's a dinosaur.
Cohan's admirers were in full force last evening ... who would cheer themselves hoarse at the worst play in the world if he wrote it, and who would honestly believe it the best in the history of the stage.
It would take Mr. Cohan to keep any audience amused and contented throughout a first act lasting two hours and ten minutes ... the final curtain fell at ten minutes before midnight. (…) Much of what was seen last night is destined for the scrap basket, which is rather a pity, for certain kindred entertainments could make such excellent use of Mr. Cohan's leavings." (New York Times - 10/2/1916)

Commentaire:   


Presse: "This play is a novelty in many ways. An author who writes novels in the class of the "best sellers" makes a wager with a friend that he can write a book of that kind which would fall under the class of "best sellers" inside of twenty-four hours. ...Necessarily, the acting of this ingenious story had much to do with its pleasant and impressive effect.
Wallace Eddinger was the novelist. All the acting parts are good, and the cast was chosen with that unerring discrimination of a good stage-manager, such as Mr. Cohan is. Gail Kane, as the blackmailing woman, deserves praise. Margaret Greene is excellent as the reporter, as also Jessie Graham, as the life of the caretaker." (Theater Magazine - November 1913)
