The best known of these, \u003ci\u003eThe Forest\u003c\/i\u003e (1871), has two young lovers in thrall to their tyrannical elders, who are prevented from marrying until a pair of strolling actors come to their rescue. In \u003ci\u003eArtistes and Admirers\u003c\/i\u003e (1881), a comedy of theatre life, a dedicated young actress renounces both love and fortune in order to pursue her sacred calling.
