This show was on it's "Prior to Broadway" run, but it apparently never made it to the Great White Way. This was Miss Pitts' first stage role, and she did star in two other shows that made it to Broadway, "Ramshckle Inn" which enjoyed some moderate success with a 6-month run in 1944, and "The Bat" which closed after 23 performances in 1953. The problem appeared to have been the choice of material rather than the performers. Condition of the photo is Good, with a sharp, bright image, but some fading to the ink.
