"It needs but a word, for it has been passed
upon and approved by critics all over the
country." Book News Monthly. And again:
"But few recent writers seem to have found
the secret of dramatic blank verse; and of
that small number, Mr. Rice is, if not first,
at least without superior."
  "With instinctive dramatic and poetic
power, Mr. Rice combines a knowledge of
the exigencies of the stage." Harper's
Weekly.
  "It is safe to say that were Mr. Rice an
Englishman or a Frenchman, his reputation
as his country's most distinguished poetic
dramatist would have been assured by a
more universal sign of recognition.   The
Baltimore News (writing of all Mr. Rice's
plays).
