The woakness of the play is that practically all the charactore are puppets employed by the dramatist to bring out the real motive of the play: the terrible effect, mental, moral and physi- cal, of the tropics on white mon, To achieve that effect the dra matist spares us nothing.

There is no gainsaying the dramatic or (shall 1 may") the theatrical effect of this play. It is a dranu of primitivo colours and strong emotional situations, and gives the actors many oppor- tunities.
