Het Geheim by A de Bruine.
The last production by Door Yver Bloeit de Kunst under the leadership of the 71 year old Johan Combrink, at the Good Hope Theatre 4 June, 1910. Boonzaier wrote a devastating criticism of what was apparently a ludicrous melodrama, badly presented, thus it was most probably a Dutch version of the Vulpius text.
