Coincident with his production of “Adrea” Belasco’s fight for freedom in
the conduct of his business reached a climax that attracted nation-wide
and wondering attention and enlisted the sympathetic assistance of
eminent members of the national legislature. Whenever possible,
subsequent to his successful presentment of “The Heart of Maryland” in
Washington (October, 1895), Belasco has elected to bring out his new
plays in that city. There he desired to launch what was in some ways the
most ambitious venture of his career,--and there, accordingly, after
overcoming every obstacle that could be thrown in his way, he first made
known the tragedy of “Adrea.” But before narrating the manner in which
that production was effected it is desirable here to make somewhat
particular exposition of the antagonism he was compelled to encounter
and to record the significance of his long and costly conflict with it.
