A review of Otis Skinner and Aubrey Boucicault's stage adaptation of Mary Hartwell Catherwood's Lazarre. The tale follows Eleazar Williams, the exiled French royalist claim to the throne, and Eagle de Ferrier through journeys from New York and Green Bay to Mittau and France, ending in a reaffirmation of American liberty over royalist restoration. The piece blends romance, history, and national identity with themes of memory, lineage, and duty.
