Pan in Ambush
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
This is a dainty and whimsical fantasy, with a good deal of literary humour in its treatment but without enough dramatic significance to justify its length elaboration. It shows, how under the influence of Pan, a Poet who fancies himself a resolute misogynist ever since he has been jilted, falls an easy victim to the artless charms of the first schoolgirl who invades the solitary privacy of his haunted garden. The rhythm of the spirited dialogue is better than the rhyme; but the whole thing is as pretty as it is pure. Recommended for Licence, Ernest A. Bendall.
