Excerpt from Society and Babe Robinson, or the Streets of Old San Francisco: A PlayThe author was applauded to the echo. Not only that, she was also urged to turn her chapters into a serial for the San Franciscan, but that weekly journal had passed away before the tale was completed. Always she met someone on the street who stopped to ask about poor little Babe Robinson, as if the child were a living, breathing human entity. Wherever she went, Babe Robinson walked by her side, entreating companionship. And so grew the complex situation copied from the life of the city of that day, interwoven with the types familiar to our streets. Each one of these types is modeled from a real human being of that time.The story from which this play has been dramatized was written under the in¿uence of the undying melodramas of that period, The Two Orphans, The Lights of London, The Shadows of a Great City and Romany Rye. For the sensational tale of Society and Babe Robinson has the streets of old San Francisco for a back ground, as the others have Paris, London and New York for theirs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
