Blue Jeans is a melodramatic play by Joseph Arthur that opened in New York City in 1890 to great popularity. The sensation of the play is a scene where the unconscious hero is placed on a board approaching a huge buzz saw in a sawmill which became one of the most dramatic imitated scenes (eventually to the point of cliche). The play remained popular for decades and was made into a popular silent film in 1917.
