Reviews edit

  • “In the Name of Duty”, “The Great City”, and “The Morning After” are good, better and still better examples of Alice Duer Miller’s capital short story writing. They will be found in her “Instruments of Darkness” (Dodd, Mead). So will “The Last Night”, a novelette, fantastic and diverting. The book takes its title from Mrs. Miller’s experiment, peculiarly hard to account for, in transposing “‘Macbeth” to the present and these environs. It also contains another such experiment. —The New Yorker, 1926 April 10.
  • Shrewd tales of life—modern and captivating. —The Bookman, June 1926
