The Critic speaks of this play as follows: It is difficult, indeed, to classify MT. l Alexander Blacks entertaining novelty. The author describes it as picture 1 play; 1t might with equal justice be \ called an Illustrated short story-but whether it be a play or a story, there can be but one opinion as to the result, which was excellent. It is difficult to give more than an imperfect descrip- ton of Mir. Blacks happy thought, but | whoever sees it will recognize at once the wide field of entertainment opened up by his invention of the picture play
