Description

This Florence Roberts Company production ran from Oct. 30, to Nov. 2, 1904 at the Grand Opera House. The leading man, Hobart Bosworth, fell ill with consumption and could not perform on the last day and, with no other available actor, the Roberts Company ran "The Adventures of the Lady Ursula" instead. Melbourne MacDowell was summoned to take over the role as the production continued its tour.
