...character portrayal. In his advertisements he even guarantees the "truthfulness and fidelity of the entire picture." He enumerates long lists of books that he has consulted in order to insure historical accuracy. To emphasis this side of the play he inserted between the 3rd and 4th acts a great triumphal procession to supplement the indirect description given by Shakespeare in the conversation between York and the Duchess.
