## Summary

_Pandora’s Box_, Act I--a commendable compression, because the whole cholera episode is morbid and nearly incredible, and a swift flight to France after Schön’s murder is quite thinkable without the long, mostly undramatic speeches that overload the present commencement of _Pandora’s Box_.
