Excerpt from The Maker of Dreams: A Fantasy in One Act So simple and direct is the story and so deft the handling that when "The Maker of Dreams" was read to me in 1911 I had no hesitation in at once accepting it on behalf of Mr. Edmund Gwenn and myself. On August 31st, 1912 (the opening night of our joint management), we presented it at the Vaudeville Theatre, London, as a first piece to "Little Miss Llewelyn." Exactly as the play had appealed to me at the reading, so it made its appeal on the first night; and both the Press and Public gave it a hearty welcome.
