Published by Dramatists Play Service
4 Male 4 Female
All would have been well if her son had not fallen in love with the daughter of a newspaper man who in his youth had covered the trial, and now suspects Mrs Smith. The play becomes a battle between Mrs. Smith and her housekeeper, on the one hand, and those, on the other, who are determined to see in Mrs Smith the accused murderess
But just as Mrs Smith faces what seems like defeat, she courageously - fighting for her son's happiness - turns the tables on her opponents, persuades her oppressors that the marriage should take place, and eventually justifies herself
A very effective psychological drama, produced in New York and London. Has proved widely popular with colleges and little theatres
