The Lost Paradise at the Alvin Theater Pittsburg

The Lost Paradise by Fulds and De Mille opened at the Alvin Theater in Pittsburg amid a shadow of a looming strike. The Americanized production by the Frohman company featured Forrest Robinson as Werner and Esther Lyon as the heroine, with mixed verdicts on acting but strong moments in act II and the mill scene. the plot centers on a Knowlton Iron Works strike, inheritance, diary secrets, and a romance between Werner and Margaret amid labor tension. The response praised the play’s directness and relevance, though some actors underperformed and realism of the strike sequence drew scrutiny.
