We have received a number of opin
ions concerning "Temperamental Henty."
the new Samuel Merwln play, which has
been on view ct the Murat ail wee*.
Some agree with up that the play was
.:n actor's victory, ds presented by th*
Walker players, but one patron of th<
drama contends that we err In statin"
that Mr. Merwtn's Henry Is not typlcn.-
| of a young man Just approaching the
; r.ge of twenty-cne.
We believe in letting every one be his
own critic, but it is our humble opin
i ion that Mr. Merwla’s Henry Is ovei
i drawn, far from being fundamentally
I typical of a real Amert'-an youth.
The writer falls to agree that the
i typical boy of Henry's age longs to
i writ* short stories and is madly In
j love with about every girl In town
! Probably we built our hopes too high
, and expected Henry to be too typical.
AS "Tempomienta! Henry” now stand”,
j it will not do.
That's our opinion. ,
