Revival of The Octoroon at the Museum Theatre
Dion Boucicault's five act drama The Octoroon is revived at the Museum, last spring for Miss O'Leary's benefit and again before Mr Pinero's Lady Bountiful. Barron as Salem Scudder carries the show with strong support from O'Leary Davenport and the rest of a capable cast. The production, while melodramatic, preserves striking devices like the photographic detective element and keeps audiences engaged with Boucicault's mingling of humor and menace.
