There was no more ambitious actor in the cast than Mr.Pollock.

Mr.Pollock was Sir Oliver, and he gave a highly original reading of that old gentleman.

What Mr.Pollock's private opinion of the character of Sir Oliver may be we cannot say; it would be worth an interviewer's while to find out.

But if he thinks Sir Oliver was a windmill, we can inform him at once that he is mistaken.

Of Mr.Sichel's Moses all that occurs to us to say is that when he let his left arm hang down and raised the other aloft, he looked very like a tea-pot.
