WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME A Spectacular Military Opera in 3 Acts, 4 Scenes. Book (and lyrics) by Stanislaus Stange. Music by Julian Edwards. New York Theatre - 16 December, 1902 - 14 February, 1903 (71 perfs) SYNOPSIS Kate Pemberton, a Southern belle, falls in love with a Union colonel, John Graham. But Kate's ardour for the Confederate cause is such that her young brother has little difficulty in persuading her to pilfer important papers from the pocket of General Allen, even though Allen's daughter has been Kate's friend. Though Graham steps in and takes the papers, he is understanding. And in the end, when it is discovered that John is the long-lost son of Felix Graham, on whose plantation much of the action unfolds, the youngsters are united.
