Article is new, long enough (1,619 characters by my count), and is within policy. Hooks are all formatted correctly, cited, and neutral.

I prefer ALT1 in terms of broader interest and a bit of a surprise; I would consider editing out the second part regarding Shakespeare in Love to really drive home the point. The other ALTs might be tidbits of more interest to a Davidson fan. Skistud (talk) 23:55, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
