Drama
Krutch, Joseph Wood | October 17, 1936 issue

Probably even "L'Aiglon" is not really as sickly a play as one has always thought it and just as there are some to whom the most trivial thing is fascinating if it relates to French monarch Napoleon Bonaparte. Audiences do not rage and roar. Denunciations of the butcher of Europe seem to them as jejune as the panegyrics are uncalled for and their attitude toward detractors and advocates alike can best be summed up in the immortal words of a now otherwise almost forgotten comedian. Another play "St. Helena" confines itself pretty severely to direct presentation without offering a thesis or pointing a moral.
