The Silver King is an 1882 melodramatic play, by Henry Arthur Jones and Henry Herman. It was "so well known that criticism is superfluous" and played to record-breaking audiences.[1] It was adapted for films in 1919 and 1929.[2][3] The play featured stars such as Mary Pickford, with Phoebe Carlo playing Ned in the original production.
The play was serialised for Australian radio in 1941 with a cast including Harvey Adams and Ron Randell.[4]
