MISTRESS NELL A MERRY TALE OF A (T’wixt Fact and Fancy) BY GEORGE C. HAZELTON, Jr. Author of the Play “Let not poor Nelly starve.” ILLUSTRATED WITH SCENES FROM THE PHOTO-PLAY emblem NEW YORK GROSSET & DUNLAP PUBLISHERS Copyright, 1901, by Charles Scribner’s Sons A WORD It is the vogue to dramatize successful novels. The author of the present Nell Gwyn story has pursued the contrary course. His “merry” play of the same name was written and produced before he undertook to compose this tale, suggested by the same historic sources. A word of tribute is gratefully given to the comÉdienne, Miss Crosman, whose courage and exquisite art introduced the “Mistress Nell” of the play to the public. CONTENTS
