Reviews
The Sydney Morning Herald said, "Mr. Dampier has, for a wonder, a somewhat repellant part-that of a hard, unscrupulous man, who has risen to fortune by the suicide of a friend, whose ruin he has caused; but the power of his acting compels admiration, and is all the more manifest by reason of the evident difliculty: which anyone who plays such a part has in gaining the sympathy of an audience."[7]
