As the setting was the same throughout all three acts, the stage effects did not distract the attention of the audience, who could, therefore, center their whole interest on the plot and on the splendid acting of the members of the cast as they interpreted their various roles. The play told the story of love, adventure, and romance in New York City, about the year 1800, when John Jacob Astor dealt in real estate, and Cornelius Vanderbilt operated a ferry from New York to Staten Island, transporting, on a busy day, as many as eight or nine passengers at a time. As the action progressed, everyone present was thrilled by the chivalry, the courtliness, the dignity, and the foresight of those founders of America’s throb- bing, pulsing metropolis. The people concerned were : Larry Delevan ............ Robert Dier Henry Brevoort............... Francis Fox Washington Irving ....... Earl Rickerson Keilly ..................... Worth Parks Cornelius Vanderbilt . Silas Wainwright John Jacob Astor..................... Mark Dalton Betty Schuyler ............ Isabel Graves Bully Boy Brewster ...........
