Drama critic, theatre manager, playwright, and adapter, he became the first recognized stage director in America. He exercised a fierce and tyrannical control over all aspects of his productions. His rules of conduct for actors and actresses imposed heavy fines for late appearances and forgotten lines and earned him the title ‘the autocrat of the stage… His play Leah the Forsaken, adapted from “The Deborah” (by) Hermann Salomon Mosenthal, was a star vehicle for Margaret Mather. ” (Wikipedia, 2016) This is the last edition of “Leah, the Forsaken” published during Daly’s lifetime.
