PLAYSANDPLAYERS

melodrama "Tho Master Workman
which will be available to those living
q. p, 90, stands at the head Of The
list. The classification of this play
among melodramas does not imply that
Il depends upon the continual drawing
of knives and pistols to entertain. Any
play in which the story involves the
ever interesting passions OF love, jeal-
ousy. hate and revenge Is melodrama
and the name OF melodrama should not
be construed to mean bloodshed situa-
tions and exaggerated clap-trap so
commonly known as melodrama.
