Abstract

Drama

This article presents information on the dramas like actress Gertrude Kingston, who has attracted enthusiastic audiences to the Neighborhood Playhouse, is also giving, in a short engagement at Maxine Elliott's Theatre, a programme of three one-act plays, which together make up a pleasant entertainment. The first, "The Inca of Perusalem," by "A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature"-undoubtediy is best characterized by a line in the dialogue: "What is more wonderful than talk?" It is indeed a talky, if amusing, sketch. As the Inca is no other than the Kaiser, bent upon marrying off one of his Sons to a princess, and as the princess's place is usurped for the nonce by an English lady posing as the former's maid, the whole international situation is up for discussion.
