Like many things of this sort it depends on money being available and must wait until the requisite funds appear...
...dialogue is effectively simple. There is little originality, and such familiar episodes as the avowal by the lovers that fate has meant them for each other, appear in this play. But they are handled, by playwrights and players, with a vitalizing skill. Neither is there much outright humor. The comic relief consists mainly in the mundane or drunken suties of Mr. Killiam and the unaccountable tricks of the man who works the lights.

Meanwhile many a potent user and producer of newsprint eyed the ailing company's assets with interest. When the bankruptcy ax finally fell eight months later, officers began to appear from such sources as Britain's Bowater's Paper Mills Ltd., a syndicate headed by Montreal's Robert Oliver Sweezey, newsprint users like Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Rothermere and William Randolph Hearst. For three years outside interests proposed and counterproposed, stockholders and creditors wrangled among themselves and with outsiders...
