The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, June 21st, 1913, "Panthea," by Mr. Monckton Hoffs, at the Ambassadors Theatre.

   a- The two Bohemians meet.- Panthea (Miss Lillemor Holvorsen) has been wrecked on the coast of Northumberland, and is being sheltered by the narrow-minded and priggish family of the Mordaunts.  She turns with contempt from them all except Gerard Mordaunt (Mr. Leon Quartermaine), in whom she finds a spirit so congeneal and reciprocal that within half an hour of their meeting she has induced him to elope with her,  Gerard leaving his appallingly exemplary wife for ever.

   b- It is two years later, and Panthea, who is still with Gerard, is seen thinking out how to get the latter'a opera produced, since the lack of recognition accorded to his genius is wrecking her lover's health.  It is the wicked Baron who comes forward at this juncture with infamous suggestions to that end.

   c- The reception of Panthea from the wreck in to the chilly Mordaunt household.

   d- Panthea kills the Baron de Duisitort (Mr. C. V. France) on finding that he has revealed to Gerard the sacrifice she has made in order to get her lover's opera produced.

   e- The death of the lovers.- Gerard has forgiven Panthea for yielding for his sake to the Baron, but as the police are on the heroine's track for the latter's murder, these two children of passion make an end of all their troubles by taking poison and dying in each other's arms.

   British-born playwright J. Hartley Manners, of Irish extraction, spent many years in the United States. In his twenties, in Australia, he began a relatively successful acting career and made his debut in London's West End in 1898. Joining the company of famed actor-manager Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, he toured the provinces as an actor.

The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, September 28th, 1912, "The Great John Ganton," by Hartley J. Manners, at the Aldwych Theatre."

   a- Miss Laura Cowie as May Kating, at the Golf Clubhouse. May is in love with John Ganton's son, Will Ganton, to John's great wrath, since he and her father were business foes.

   b- The better side of the hustler.-John Ganton (Mr. George Fawcett) gives his overworked typist a holiday and a cheque.

   c- Outside the Chicago Golf Club.- John Ganton, the pork millionaire, declines to be "touched" by the local vicar (Mr. Herbert Vyvyan) for charity, although he afterwards gives the money in his daughter's name.  Ganton's right-hand man surveys the scene.  Both these business men are out of their element among the gay, sportive idlers at the golf club.

   d- The proposal after a round on the links.- May Kating (Miss Laura Cowie) and Will Ganton (Mr. Eric Maturin).  Will is threatened with poverty if he marries May, but a fourth-act repentance by his stern parent avoids this disaster.

   e- Alan Borlan (Mr. Earle Browne), a would-be reformer of business methods, "goes for" John Ganton, who, though a splendid individualist, stands for the corrupt old school of "Craft and Graft." The old gentleman's retort is to make Alan his son-in-law.

It was "carried out in the broadest farcical spirit, with plenty of humorous situations, a large number of surprises, and considerable bright dialogue" (New York Times, 30 January 1912).
