Scope and content
Review of Landscape with Figures, cut from The Journal, mostly favourable, with a black and white picture of Sir Donald Wolfit and Ann Firbank. The journalist enjoyed the play, calling it "fine, melodramatic stuff." He especially enjoyed Beaton's scenary and costume, a "delight." He praises the performances of Wolfit and Ann Firbank but found Mona Washbourne as Mrs Gainsborough too grotesque. Creator: A. B.
