Summary edit

Description
English: Montage of still photographs from the 1909 London production of Smith, a play by W. Somerset Maugham presented at the Comedy Theatre
  • Caption on lower photo reads as follows:
    Mrs. Rosenberg (Miss Lydia Bilbrooke). Algy Peppercorn (Mr. A. E. Matthews). Mrs. Rose Dallas-Baker (Miss Kate Cutler). Emily Chapman (Miss Edyth Latimer).
  • Captions for numbered photos follow:
    1. Tom Freeman (Mr. Robert Loraine), the Colonist farmer, in search of a wife, tells his much-shocked sister Rose that he has asked Smith, the parlour-maid, to marry him.
    2. Emily Chapman, who lives by bridge-playing, now artfully succeeds in getting an offer of marriage from Tom.
    3. Smith (Miss Marie Lohr) confesses her love for Tom.
    4. Mr. A.E. Matthews, as Algy Peppercorn, describing the duties of a tame cat of which he is a sample.
    5. Tea-table scandal among the worthless set of social butterflies Tom Freeman finds gathered in his sister's house, where he finds no person of merit but Smith.
