It is not necessary to rehearse the story of "Nancy Stair." I can assume that you have read it, though if you are like me, you haven't. I look upon Mr.
Julius Cahn's "Official Theatrical Guide" as rich and racy literature compared with these fatiguing attempts to invent impossible people, and drag them through a jungle of impossible happenings-simply because Mr. Anthony Hope, a few years ago, achieved success by similar means, which at that time had a semblance of novelty. I may be "prejudiced," but then I have at least the courage of my own prejudices.
In "Nancy Stair" Mr. Potter even seemed to belittle opportunities that might have raised his play from the dull level of conventionality.
One episode in which _Nancy_, afraid that her lover has murdered the _Duke_of_Borthwicke_, enters the presence of the corpse, and there forges a letter in the interests of _Danvers_, might have been made into something strongly emotional, creepy and Sarah Bernhardtian.
