Further Information Society's 90th production. A programme note states that Black Chiffon was presented as a substitute for The Heiress, which had been announced as the production for this slot, but for which they were unable to obtain the amateur rights, which had not yet been released. 'Black Chiffon is a drama with a strong emotional appeal, and should give full satisfaction to our audiences.'.
