 Based on the hit play of the same name, the comedy, starring H.  Reeves Smith as "Jinks" and Ethel Barrymore (qv) as "Madam  Trentoni," debuted at the Garrick Theatre on Broadway on 4 Feb 1901  and ran for a respectable 168 performances before closing the  following June. It reopened briefly in that fall and enjoyed two  less successful revivals in 1907 and 1938. The play was originally  produced by Charles Frohman (qv), a legendary figure on Broadway  who had died in the sinking of the Lusitania on May 7, 1915 at age  64.
