The production features flawed structure with dramatic high notes and a notable curtain mishap involving actress Buse Mae Miller, while Hanford’s portrayal draws praise for his soldierly character and resemblance to political figures.

Hanford's stage turn in Jobo Allen decries as talky
The critic notes Mr. Hanford in the role of Private John Allen shows a mingling of humor and politics, with his Beasie Stokes and Elsie Van Brahm supporting acts. The reviewer finds him out of element in the Prince Albert coat and slouch hat, yet admires the effort to ease the dramatic descent. A wish remains for a stronger Mark Antony presence.
