Better than I thought it would be.

There are some really telling moments at the end of the boot but the end is much too trite and rushed

✔️Published in 1897.
I first watched the 1920 silent film with David Barthelmess and Lillian Gish. Then I watched the 1935 Henry Fonda-Rochelle Hudson version. Wowzers! But first, before any of the above, there is the play. Written by Lottie Blair Parker in 1897.

I was a little disappointed in the ending...It left me waiting for more.
