"I was anxious on the first night of William Archer's play...because this [his] first play, and I could not help recalling the literary men...who have essayed the state, and who have not triumphed. Lo, before the end of the first act my anxiety was over... At the end of the second act I said, 'this is a money-getter.' At the end of the third act I said, 'Archer has put it over.' At the end of the fourth act I cheered with the rest." Quoted from the back of the book jacket.
