heroism, humor and pathos. The career Of

the history OF theatricals, as it is one Of the
very few dramatic productions of late years
that has attained such worldwide reputa-
tion. 1t was written by MIR. Gillette and
produced by him, backed by his own capital,
and its success is due entirely to his own
efforts. Besides being played in America, it
