PLAY WRITTEN BY WOMAN
AND ACTED BY WOMEN. Miss Irene Purcell, who has the leading role in the famous Clare Boothe play, “The Women,” said in an interview in Sydney that it was probably the first time in the history of the theatre that a play written by a woman, and’ produced and acted by women, had ever been presented to an entirely feminine audience. Miss Purcell was referring to a matinee for women only which was staged by special request and was so successful that a second similar matinee had to be given.
