Description A spectacular and exciting romance of the time of Queen Elizabeth. The action moves swiftly, and there is the most admirable blend of tragedy, pathos and delightful comedy. Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots are characters in the drama, which is staged and costumed in the most sumptuous fashion. The story is of two families, between whom exist the bitterest hate. Miss Stewart is said to be the pretty, vivacious, headstrong Dorothy to the life.
