Abstract

Drama
February 18, 1915 issue

add to cart   close window

Two or three weak spots impair the construction of Mr. Earl Derr Biggers's war play, Inside the Lines. The political plot contemplated is stirring enough. The scene is laid at Gibraltar just after the outbreak of the World War I. Even full measure of good acting fails to raise the war drama, The White Feather, from the ranks of mediocrity. The best of acting cannot create interest when dramatic interest flags, and that is the chief fault with the play, a fault that might perhaps be overcome by quickening the action of the piece.
