EDITORS COMMENTS
by C. Watson Mill: A Timeless Tale of Love, Deception, and Courage Step back in time with this promotional postcard from the Prince of Wales theatre in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, showcasing a scene from C. Watson Mill's enchanting play, "For Love and the King." First performed on April 13, 1908, this classic drama tells the story of Jarval, a gallant English soldier of fortune, who crosses paths with Natilla, the supposed daughter of a miser. However, an intriguing twist unfolds as Natilla is revealed to be the long-lost princess of the king. In this heart-stirring moment, Jarval, played by Watson Mill himself, stands between the miser and Natilla, preventing him from inflicting harm. With unwavering courage, Jarval helps the prince win Natilla's heart, even though he harbors his own deep feelings for her.
