Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robbery Under Law: Or the Battle of the Millionaires; A Play in Three Acts and Three Scenes, Time, Treating Since finishing the play: "Robbery Under Law," last Fall, the undersigned has written another play found herewith, entitled: "The Hazard Of The Die," a three act play in blank verse treating of the conspiracy of Catiline during the last days of the Roman Republic. A word of explanation is germane to the matter in hand. Upon finishing "Robbery Under Law," this last Fall, the writer sent it to a friend - a lady - upon a large New York daily paper. She in turn sent it to another lady - a friend of hers - with the request that she bring the play to the attention of her friend´s - a large New York theatrical manager´s - play-reader. The letter below is an exact transcript of the letter of the undersigned to lady number two. In closing this introduction to an introduction - so to speak - it might be observed that the length of the first play - a thing which can be remedied by a blue pencil and judicious and experienced cutting, without in the least interfering with the action of the drama - the length has been retained - even added to - since the letter below was written - in order to serve as a sort of propaganda towards the cause of Lunacy Law reform, to which the writer has sacrificed the past eighteen years of his life - come March 13, 1915. All the characters - with the exception of the heroine´s - which is entirely an imaginary one - having been photographed actually - so to speak - from life; and all the actions of all the characters - bar the heroine´s - having been practically copies from court records as is indicated in the subjoined letter. To that end the writer has left his comments unpruned, upon the abominable laws, and the even more abominable administration of said laws, by the New York Courts, both State and Federal, set forth in "Robbery Under Law."
