Robert Frank
By Sigurd Ibsen
A drama, which William Archer, the distinguished English critic, considers convincing proof that he possesses “dramatic faculty in abundance.” Mr. Archer defines it as “a powerful and interesting play which claims attention on its own merits, eminently a play of to-day, or, rather, perhaps of to-morrow.” The truth of this last comment is sufficiently evinced in the fact that its motive is the attempt of a young statesman to end, once and for all, the struggle between capital and labor by dramatically heroic measures.
