| Description | It is a comedy of deception, in which the daughter of a homely Yorkshire family, with some acting ability, at first deceives a prominent London producer into thinking she was a common and rough-spoken mill girl, only to surprise him with a brilliant speech from Bernard Shaw's 'St. Joan.' He is 'affronted' by the deception, but later, by a little blackmail, also a deception on the part of the girl's mother, whom he knew previously, the contract is signed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
