Edmund Breese and Miss Gertrude Coghlan, the

she late Charles Coghlan-welcome for her fathers

fact that the reference this play to the United

bought and sold is received by the audience, not
with disapproval, and not with thoughtful consid-
Grafton but with cynical. iocose, assent. Such
a denotement Of public feeling cannot be deemed
