“Self Defence.” 17 min. This is a very unique melodrama in tabloid version. In the hands of a lesser artist than Abeles would not count so strong. But he has made the most of Broadhurst’s idea and step by step leads up to a thrilling climax. The audience was quite spellbound, and the close gave Abeles a strong hand. One of the strongest stories and best-acted plays we have ever had.
