 Later that October de Mille produced "The Lost Paradise", his adaptation of the Ludwig Fulda play "Das Verlorene Paradies".The production by Charles Frohman's company proved to be another success and was considered to be de Mille's best work to date.As he was finishing "The Lost Paradise", de Mille read Henry George's famous treatise "Progress and Poverty" and immediately became a dedicated Georgist "single-taxer".
