Fitch, William Clyde. Her own way: a play in four acts. **75c. Macmillan.
7–17031.
The clever four act comedy which Maxine Elliott made famous is now brought out in book form, dedicated to the actress who created Georgiana Carley and endeared her wilful personality to all who watched her romping with her brother’s children, or successfully directing her own love affairs despite the intervention of fate and family.
Fitch, (William) Clyde. The truth; a play in four acts. **75c. Macmillan.
7–21331.
Becky Warder, in whom has been born and bred the habit of petty falsehood, learns in the course of these four acts to speak the truth. She fibs to her husband, whom she adores, about hats, about her gambler father’s needs, and finally about her meetings with Jack Lindon, the man from whom her best friend has separated. The net of white lies closes about her, her much enduring husband ceases to believe in her, and in her trouble she comes to realize the truth is essential to happiness.
“A good play to ‘read ’round’ in a literary club.”
