Reflecting later upon the perform- ance, the structure of the entire pro- duction reminded one of nothing so much as of that Egyptian pyramid | which towers to lofty height, with stairsteps running up each side. Action and plot in logical fashion as- cended step by stép to the pinnacle, and the play—stopping suddenly just as the big thrill is unveiled—left the wudience lifted to the clouds, with no alternative but to flutter, stumble and {tumble back down to this work-a-day world as best it might.
