• The Golden Calf. By Jacob Schwartz. (C. W. Daniel.

2s. 6d. net.)—A play in three acts dealing with the familiar incident during the exodus of the Children of Israel. The characters are well drawn, but not altogether appropriate, since they have singularly un-Hebraic minds. The Golden Calf should act well, for Mr. Schwartz is a competent dramatist, but as two of his scenes are to take place in the Wilderness of Sinai and, among other adjuncts, require the presentation of the entire tribe of Dan, we fear that Mr. Schwartz will have to go into the Wilderness of Sinai in order to have his play adequately produced.
