Belasco hits with The Fighting Hope at Stay-Venant theater
Broadway drama review notes Belasco’s influence on The Fighting Hope at the Stay-Venant, Blanche Bates dominating the emotional lead as a wife who suspects her husband’s guilt.

James Hackett revives The Prisoner of Zenda at Hackett theater with strong acting and improved voice, supported by a capable ensemble including Brigham Royce and Mabel Huebuck.
