ABSTRACT
. . .But there is such a thing as pertinence, even in the finest of stage performances, and never did a play seem more like a museum piece than ‘The Three Sisters’ did last night. A very Aubusson carpet of a museum piece, to be sure, an antique gold-plated samovar, if you will, but a museum piece just the same. Thus does the mood of period inevitably affect the reception of any play given.
