Mr. Antonio" is one of the finest
characterizations Mr. Skinner has given
during his career; and Mr.. Skinner has
ransacked the classics of both England

considered suitable both for himself

a Harrington creation typical Of the
Americanism that likes art and senti-
ment. but does not disdain dash OF
melodrama to make sure that the brew

the melodrama seems in the perform
ance, it fades in memory beside the
