Carter, Lincoln J. (1865–1926), playwright. A prolific author of blood‐and‐thunder melodramas, his plays were rarely presented in New York and then usually in minor playhouses. But his best plays remained popular with touring companies and were revived regularly until shortly before World War I. Among his works were The Fast Mail (1890), Tornado (1894), The Heart of Chicago (1898), Under the Dome (1898), Remember the Maine (1898), Chattanooga (1899), Bedford's Hope (1906), and An American Ace (1918).
