Drama Kew Play at the Hudson in a Melodramatic Night

The Hudson performance presents a loose adaptation of a tale with an emphasis on situation over plot. Cast highlights include Galbreith as the strongest, while Ferguson and Berk deliver fatigue-free turns. Stork’s presence is noted as a flaw in acting style. The reviewer calls the melodrama respectable but monotonous, praising atmosphere over fidelity.
