nd incidents.... The
"Return from Market," "The Marriage Bargain," and the last scene ...
have the illusion of life, and are in a phrase--which, though blunted
by misuse, expresses a real need in Irish Art--"racy of the
soil"--_The Northern Whig._

"The Turn of the Road" is a cleverly constructed picture of life in a
County Down farmhouse, evidently drawn by one who knew his characters
or their prototypes in the flesh.--_Irish News._

It is a play that transports the hedge rows, the farm kitchen with its
dresser and turf fire, and above all the real vernacular right into
our preception more vividly than an experience. The author has written
a remarkable fine play of life, humour, and realism.--_Nomad's Weekly
and Belfast Critic._

Into the brief compass of his two acts Mr. Rutherford Mayne has
compressed the age-long attitude of Ulster towards the arts.... Light
is breaking after the long Arctic night. The very existence of this
poignant play pregnantly indicates that the old order is changing and
must soon give place to the new.--_The Lady of the House._

The more we see this peasant drama in two scenes and an epilogue, the
more we admire its unpretending art and its real greatness.--_Belfast
Evening Telegraph._
