Excerpt from The Theatre, 1903, Vol. 3: Illustrated Monthly Magazine of Theatrical and Musical LifeMr. Cable's novel contains very little, if any, of the stir ring incidents just related, and in this fact, perhaps, one finds additional proof, if any were needed, that novels do not make good plays, for the acts that follow and which adhere more closely to the book are weak in comparison, the piece degenerating rapidly into a crazy-quilt of hackneyed situa~ tions. The play suffers from having a too good first act, for it is in the nature of an anti-climax. The interest, instead of increasing to the end, decreases from the start.Miss Marlowe has never done better work or had a better opportunity for the display of her varied and delightful art.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
