Enobs O Tennessee Grand Drama Review
A brief critique of a melodramatic play at the Grand. The production is described as cheap and mawkish with lurid moments revolving around a son killed by his mother to avoid arrest and punishment. Most actors lack strong stage presence, though a few perform adequately. intelligent audiences may appreciate the production’s mean theatrics.
