Speranza
Henry Wilson Savage (1859–1927). Born in New Durham, New Hampshire, he was educated at Harvard and had become a prosperous Boston real estate agent until a client who ran the Castle Square Opera House failed and he was forced to assume its management. He turned it into one of the nation's most successful stock companies, eventually sending out several branch companies. Moving to New York, Savage produced a series of notable turn‐of‐the‐century hits, including The Sultan of Sulu (1902), The County Chairman (1903), The Prince of Pilsen (1903), The College Widow (1904), The Merry Widow (1907), Madame X (1909), Excuse Me (1911), and Sari (1914). He often prefaced his name with “Colonel,” although his claim to that distinction was a matter of dispute.
