...full in "The Fair Maid of the West." The play is thus genuinely a revival, for it is given practically intact. So invigorating is the courageous, open-air climate that even the most arrant coward is shamed out of his cowardice into as energetic courage; the returning Captain Goodlack, who is much tempted to gainful villany, is too conscious of good impulses within and without to keep his evil purpose; and the only real villany about is the national villany of Spain...
...Clem, the tavern apprentice, is a gleefully "fresh" youngster, and gleefully done, without being overdone, by Mr. Randall--which is matter for praise. Mullisheg, King of Fez, has a fairly bootless existence, and Mr. Snedeker deserves compliment for acting with discrimination and genuineness this part of difficult rapidness. Captain Goodlack, Spencer's friend, and even Spencer himself, are not in the play specially "convincing" persons: they are chiefly the means of proving to us that Bess is "a girl worth gold." Under these circumstances, Mr. Kenyon as the rather graceless Goodlack and Mr. Eliot as Spencer did their parts with...

...which Spencer slays him in a duel. For this he is obliged to flee from Plymouth. At night Spencer comes to the tavern to say farewell to Bess. He bids her go to the Windmill Tavern which he owns at Foy, and departs for Fayal with his friend Captain Goodlack. Bess goes to Foy and acts as mistress of the tavern. Among the gallants whom her beauty has attracted, is a bully named Roughman. Disguised as a page, Bess tries the courage of Roughman and finds him to be a coward. Spencer, in the mean-while, has been wounded...
...Goodlack arrives at Foy and resolves to test Bess, hoping she may prove false and that he may keep the legacy. But finding his efforts futile, he finally tells Bess of the money. Spencer returning from Fayal, has been captured by a Spanish captain. Bess, in the meanwhile, has decided to set sail for Fayal and as captain of the ship "Negro," learns that the Spaniards have desecrated the supposed Spencer's body. The "Negro" gives fight to a Spanish vessel and captures it. When Spencer is brought before her she thinks him a ghost, and he does not recognize...
