Brown Critics Broadway Season as Unromantic
Mount Vernon drama critic John Mason Brown reviews the current New York season for Cornell College audiences. He ridicules the Romeo and Juliet film with Leslie Howard as unromanticly cold, lauds John Barrymore’s Hamlet, commends Gielgud’s Shakespearean language ignition, and mocks Ophelia. He praises Lillian Gish, dismisses Walter Huston in Othello, and calls Maxwell Anderson’s High Tor the most original contemporary work.
