Sag Harbor
Sag Harbor (1900), a play by James A. Herne. [Republic Theatre, 76 perf.] Two brothers, Ben ( Forrest Robinson) and Frank Turner ( Lionel Barrymore), both love Martha Reese ( Julie A. Herne). Although she loves Frank, she marries the older Ben out of a sense of obligation. Two years later Frank reappears and almost persuades Martha to elope with him. Only the intervention of Captain Dan Marble (Herne), who recounts the disastrous results of a similar elopement, dissuades the couple. Liebler and Co. presented Herne's last play, and it was deemed by many to be merely a rewriting of his early Hearts of Oak, albeit Herne publicly denied this. Critics admired Herne's warm performance but were sharply divided on the merits of the drama.
