Blackmail
Theater: Globe
Opening Date: Feb. 28, 1928
Performances: 42
Playwright: Charles Bennett
Directors: A. H. Woods
Producer: Raymond Massey
Partial Cast: Frank Vosper, Alfred Clark, Henrietta Watson, Amy Veness, Alexander Onslow
Tallulah's Role: Daphne Manning
Tallulah accepted the role after the playwright read it to her, but it failed to ignite any sparks at the box office. It was notable as a film made by Alfred Hitchcock a year later. Tallulah was not considered for the film version because her character was restored to her original incarnation as a shopgirl and Hitchcock knew that Tallulah was no shopgirl.
Tallulah's Comments: "A stinker"
