This 1921 play, subtitled "A Comedy in One Act," is Cabell's only published play script. The drama is based on the short story "Balthazar's Daughter" that originally appeared in Cabell's 1916 collection, The Certain Hour. In his prologue, the author confesses that the play "lacks moral fervor" and hopes it will "corrupt no reader irretrievably."
