Type:
War playlet in which a colonel almost executes his own son for neglect of duty. The Colonel finds out before the execution that the boy is in fact his own son and manages to save him in time.
Dialogue.
"At Sunrise" by H.S. Sheldon.
At the Alhambra the piece earned the principals several curtain calls, although whatever credit accrued from the performance justly belongs to the players, for one could conceive an artistic crime committed by an irresponsible cast with this particular piece.
The playlet is intensely dramatic throughout and nicely held up by the principals. For their vaudeville introduction it serves well and carries whatever value the average dramatic turn can hold.
