Abstract

Drama

"I Know My Love" is an adaptation by S.N. Behrman of a play by Marcel Achard. Its French derivation may account for the frame of sophistication which Behrman and the Lunts find so congenial, but it is otherwise not discernible. On the other hand, though the scene has been shifted to Boston, the author doubts whether even as late as 1920 a matron of that city, unless she was an accepted outlander such as an opera singer or an actress, would, for instance, have handled her husband's extramarital excursions. The play-and the characters-are neither here nor there as far as any actual locate is concerned and the play is not really a play. It is a son of marital cavalcade consisting of a series of episodes from the lives of a couple who have been married for fifty years.
