Abstract
After a run of three months Hypatia1 was finished and I found myself rehearsing for my first appearance in light comedy. Nothing could have been better for a young actress who, although in one sense ‘established’, was still avid for experience, than swinging over from the broad, florid effects of costume drama to the polished periods of Oscar Wilde’s conversation piece, A Woman of No Importance. Tree and his wife played the leads, and Fred and I again appeared as the lovers.2
This For Remembrance (London: Hurst & Blackett, 1940) pp. 139–40. Editor’s title.
