Salomy Jane, written by Paul Armstrong (c1868-1915), and performed at the Liberty Theatre, New York city, from January 19 through May 4, 1907

   Scenes from Salomy Jane, written by Paul Armstrong (c1868-1915), and performed at the Liberty Theatre, New York city, from January 19 through May 4, 1907, returned to the Academy of Music, New York City, in September 1907 for a month (Sep 2–Sep 30) then went on tour.

   It was loosely based on the short story Salomy Jane's Kiss by Bret Harte, but also pulled in characters from other Harte works. It has four acts and five scenes, taking place over sixteen hours in Calaveras County, California around 1855.
   
   The play was produced by Liebler & Company, with staging by Hugh Ford, sets by Gates and Morange, incidental music by Robert Hood Bowers, and electrical effects by the Kliegl Brothers. It starred Eleanor Robson, with H. B. Warner, Holbrook Blinn, and Ada Dwyer.
