Author of Blue Jeans, The Still Alarm, Lost River, On the Wabash"). Note that playwright Joseph Arthur lived from 1848 to 1906, and that this melodrama was set in Afghanistan, and featured the British Eleventh Hussars (known as The Cherry Pickers), and it starred William Harcourt, Ralph Delmore and Roselle Nott. This play was made into a film in 1914 with screenplay by Betrand Sinclair and starring Jack McDonald. The stage play poster we have seen has a great horizontal image of an Afghan prisoner firing a cannon right by a chained man and a woman, and he is shouting "Brother you are avenged!'", which makes us want to know more about the play!
