Humour is a quality comparatively lacking in "Edwin Drood," but that does not appear to be the reason why Mr. Orpheus C. Kerr perpetrated "The Mystery of Mr. E. Drood," an adaptation of the Dickens novel to the surroundings and characteristic of American life. Orpheus C. Kerr - or, more correctly speaking, Mr. R. H. Newell, - has done very well with his comic paraphrase, the boisterous humour of which cannot be denied. Throughout this extravagant work the parallel with the original is maintained with considerable skill, and many of the situations of Edwin Drood are distorted in a manner provocative of much harmless mirth.
