A Royal Slave. It may be of interest to the readers to know that an aotnal incident fornisbed the author of "A Royal Slave” with the initial idea ont of wbioh this great plav was evolved. The little item of news appeared in the daily papers at that time. It is as follows: ''A wealthy Mexican gentleman, who was known to possess a vast bidden estate, suddenly disappeared and was dually given up by his family. Several years later the gang of celebrated bandits was surprised and Obptured in their stronghold and a poor insane man rescued. He was taken to a hospital in the City of Mexico where an operation of trepanning tbe skull was performed on him and his reason returned. He proved to be tbe long lost gentleman who bad been oaptnred by the bandits, who, in trying to foroe him to tell the hiding plaoe of his fortune, had struck him a severe blow on tbe head which dented the skull and rendered him insane. He had been a captive foi yesrs in the hopes that be might remember tbe coveted secret and in bis half lucid moments, reveal it ” Knowing this actual incident, it wilt be all the more interesting to tbe public to follow the play itself, and to observe bow much of this charming dramatio story is due also to the splendid imaginative and creative powers of tbe author.
