Review "The Silent House"
Dublin Core
Title
Review "The Silent House"
Description
This review of the play "The Silent House," which was performed at Shubert Theatre in New York City. The writer first criticizes the accents of the actors, claiming he thought they were speaking another language before finding out they were speaking with thick New York accents, "the mushiest enunciation in town." This writer also likens the accents to Yiddish. The play featured many characters with non-European names, including Ho-Fang, who the writer of this review calls "a domesticated chink." The contents of the play or these characters' roles, however, are not explored in depth.
