Bernstein Drama Israel At Hollis Theatre
The Hollis Street Theatre presents Israel by Henri Bernstein in Boston. The French drama targets anti Semitic sentiment and features Gutlieb Thibault and the Duchess of Croucy with Arden Browne and Collier in key roles. Critics cite long speeches, melodramatic sentiment, and a modified English ending that weakens the original impact.
