The article presents information about the play "Odd Man Out." It is exclusively a battle of wits. The little comedy, unusually well acted by Alma Tell, A.E. Anson, Lee Baket and James Crane, is not only amusing but furnishes at the same time a good illustration of what one gains and what one loses, both in art and in life, by passing from the heroic to the civilized age. It leaves no longer any room for the grand gesture and it allows no one to be great; but there is no limit to the number of minor accomplishments, which it permits.
