New Theatre Play Exposes Racial Hatreds, single work
— Review of Had We But World Enough Oriel Gray , 1950 single work drama ;

'In America they call color prejudice Jim Crow. In Germany Hitler called it the "superiority of the Aryan race." In Australia we pretend it doesn't exist. BUT it does exist, and at times takes as filthy and poisonous forms as it ever did under Hitler or in the lynch law Southern US States. Particularly in some of our country towns. It is a typical country town in Australia that Oriel Gray has taken for the setting of her new play...'

A review of the 1950 New Theatre, Sydney, production.
