- Cather, on The Royal Box, adapted by Charles Coghlan from Dumas' 1836 comedy Kean, or Disorder and Genius: "In his adaptation Mr. Coghlan has unfortunately weakened the love story, which is none too fervid in the original, but he has given the play something that Dumas never did—atmosphere, that rare and elusive quality, that volatile, indefinable something which gives one the actual impression of a given time and society."
