"Miss Sowerby's 'Rutherford and Son' is the best first play since 'Chains' of Miss Elizabeth Baker.... These authors take you immediately by the ear, and limit their discourses strictly to the text.... These plays are really astonishing examples of what can be done in a modern theatre by keeping strictly to the point."--Saturday Review.
"I have read few good acting plays which are so consecutive and satisfactory to read."--T. P.'s Weekly.

"This play has been censored. It is a play by a poet and artist. And it goes very deeply and hauntingly into the heart. The note that it sounds is the note of Justice, and he would indeed be either a fearful or a fawning reader who could find aught to object to in it."--The Observer.
