# Analysis: Life Magazine Drama Section This page reviews contemporary theatrical productions. The "DRAMA" header and "Many Plays of Many Kinds" section discuss stage performances, including: - A production of "Adrea" involving complex staging and lighting effects - "Fantasia," a comic opera featuring Jefferson De Angelis and Adele Ritchie - Bernard Shaw's "You Never Can Tell" at the Garrick Theatre - A play by Carter involving Mrs. Leslie Carter (shown in the illustration as "Adrea") The accompanying illustration depicts Mrs. Leslie Carter in costume as her character, likely meant to showcase her dramatic role and appearance.
