Dartmoor Drama at Duquesne Entertains Pittsburg Crowd
Review notes Dartmoor on stage at the Duquesne Theatre with Arthur Law and Bettina Gerard in a melodramatic plot of escaped convicts and prison life. Largely not subtle but engaging, the cast includes Gilmour as the convict, Powers, Westford, and Lewis in a controversial love triangle. Lady Lil, played by Lillian Lewis, opens a parallel melodrama with strong performances and stylish circus settings. The critic praises Miss Lewis and the supporting company while calling the pieces lively yet conventional.
