The play has just been produced
at the Aldwich Theater. The critics
and others OF liberal frame OF nina
declare that the question Is not
blasphemous when read with the
context.
The words are uttered by
mother who lost two sons In the
war. She is playing cards with the
local vicar. He remarks; VINO
should know better tNan the min
listers OF God that to err Is human
to forgive divine?
The mother drops her cards
springs TO her feet and exclaims
brokenly:
