Playwright: Sir Patrick Hastings
Director: Basil Dean


Partial Cast: Edmund Breon, Godfrey Tearle, Beatrix Lehman, Lumena Edwardes, Brember Wills, Robert Horton

Tallulah's Role: Mary Denvers

Tallulah played the amorous wife of a cabinet minister in a play that again received criticism from the press and the Bishop as being too racy. It was a modest success, however, and a play that Tallulah's fan loved.

Tallulah's Comments: "Upset by its plot, the Bishop of London denounced it from his pulpit. The Lord Bishop changed a failure into a long-run success. Nothing like a clerical blast to buck up a sagging box office!"
