| Joseph Arthur's most successful melodrama, which introduced the spectacle of hero or heroine being dragged toward a buzzsaw, was a hit in its premiere (176 performances) and continued to be revived for many years after (for instance in 1892 for several month at its original home of the 14th St. Theatre, and in 1908 at the Shakespeare Theatre, London). The original production starred Robert Hilliard and Judith Berolde. In 1917 it became a silent film with Viola Dana in 1917. |
