Abstract

Drama
Krutch, Joseph Wood | November 7, 1928 issue

Under certain circumstances it is doubtful if any producer who felt no obligation to stage a play merely because it happened to be an honest and effective bit of writing would risk his money upon the play "Exceeding Small" which now appears as the first of the season's offerings to be sponsored by the Actors Theater. The subject of the play is not unlike that of Maxwell Anderson's "Saturday's Children," and the writing is marked by some indefinable touches of nature which give it a quality reminiscent of that piece, but whereas Anderson allowed his characters to temporize with their destiny, Caroline Frank, author of the present tragedy, permits hers no escape.
