The Yellow Jacket
Yellow Jacket, The,drama by George C. Hazelton and J. Harry Benrimo, produced in 1912. This play, on a Chinese theme concerned with the life of a boy and his attempt to win his rightful claim to the throne from his half-brother, was successful not only for its subject matter but because of its novelty in employing the technique of native Chinese drama, preserving such conventions as the property man and the chorus.
