Lady Bountiful

"The story of "Lady Bountiful" is, I venture to think, human and interesting enough to offer possibilities to the novelist; whereas Mr. Pinero treated it, after his lights, in dramatic form. And he gripped the attention of his audiences, and made them laugh and made them cry, and yet "Lady Bountiful" cannot be described as a popular success, in London at all events. In New York its success was far greater than had been anticipated and it enjoyed quite a long career." - Summary by Malcolm C. Sala
