Tho plot of THE Two Colonels' Is n
clever simple tale Of separation. love, ana
forgiveness. with the old-time moral In Its
finale Such a fact presents itself to the
audience between the lines which the
actors speak, but the actual lines them
selves by no means do justice TO the
theme of the play. At times its cllmaNes
are unnatural. especially IN the conclusion
of The first act. The action or the piece
is slow and there IS a certain drag about
IT, but these two defects could to large
extent be cradicated by skilfuf pruning.
