Hearts of Oak (play)
''Hearts of Oak'' is an 1879 play by Americans James Herne and David Belasco taken from the British play, ''The Mariner's Compass'', by Henry Leslie (1830-1881).
==''Hearts of Oak''==
The play is a melodrama〔Banham (1998, 485)〕 concerning a woman who marries her guardian out of gratitude, even though she loves another man. It was extraordinarily successful on tour, starring Belasco, and earning a fortune for him. ''Hearts of Oaks'' first opened as a five act and six tableaux production at the Hamlin's Theatre in Chicago on November 17, 1879.〔(''The life of David Belasco'' )〕 The actress Chrystal Herne was named after the character her mother, Katherine Corcoran, portrayed in the piece.〔(Notable American Women: a Biographical Dictionary By Edward T. James, Janet Wilson James; 1974, pg. 168 )〕 The play's title is a quotation from a line spoken in Homer's ''Odyssey'' by Circe to Odysseus upon his return from the underworld , ''"Hearts of oak, did you go down/ alive into the homes of death? One visit/ finishes all men but yourselves, twice mortal!"''〔(The Odyssey Notes | Book 12 Bookrags.com )〕
