| Description |
in a prologue and three acts- the tragedy of a woman's life, resulting from light conduct on her part and inexorable hardness on that of her husband. Unlimited scope is allowed for powerful, emotional acting, and playgoers who witnessed the enthralling production of "Within the Law" by this company, will have good reason to anticipate a performance equally brilliant, if not more so. |
