The New York World says: To "dramatize" a novel is common work, to "novelize" a play comparatively rare. The latest in this line is "Gismonda," in which Miss Fanny Davenport has been so successful, and Mr. A. D. Hall has told the story in a very interesting manner.
Philadelphia Press: The story is an interesting one, and with a plot quite out of the common.
Portland Oregonian: A story that holds the interest.
Denver Republican: The characters are exceedingly well depicted. "Gismonda" will prove a favorite with the novel-reading public and become one of the popular books of the season.
Philadelphia Item: The kind of book which one sits over till he has finished the last word. It is a clever piece of literary work.
New Orleans Picayune: It is needless to say, as it is Sardou's creation, that it is of intense interest.
Buffalo News: A vivid and powerful story.
Brooklyn Eagle: The amplification into the novel is done by Mr. A. D. Hall, who presents a full and interesting picture of modern or rather medieval Greece. The plot is quite original.
Milwaukee Journal: While its situations are dramatic, it is by no means stagy.
Albany Argus: We have every reason to believe that the excellent novelization will achieve popularity.
