"The Swalmi's Curse" is a rather scattered story, but it has an Indian scene, which Mrs. F. E. Penny always sets well. Her success is greater with her Hindu than with her European figures. Heather Woodbury has not mastered the slang of the modern gir! she plays, and Stephen Rotherfield, though an attractive, is not ai very convincing missionary. It is Stephen's convert Savalu, his mother, and his two wives who hold the centre of the stage with ite trappings of Black Magic.
Mrs. Penny's limelight is cast on them we in the stalls are all intent.
