But he is not a mankiller of the old-fashioned Mexican type, and last week cautioned his followers against violence...

First played by the late great Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the deplorably accessible heroine of this Pinero drama has been variously enacted by Eleanora Duse, Olga Nethersole, Gladys Cooper, Ethel Barrymore.
