MacKaye's adaptation of Ernest Blum's French drama was first played at the
Union Square Theatre in 1875. The story told of the dilemma of the heroine who must choose between revealing that her husband is a murderer and destroying the happiness and forthcoming marriage of her daughter. Rose
Eytinge played the title role and the drama was one of the biggest hits of its decade, revived occasionally for the rest of the century.
