| Description |
The three acts expose the lives and misdeeds, together with much necessary lingeue and intimate physical details of the various ladies. The twelve scenes wander from bedroom to bedroom, maternity hospital to powder room and drop in at hairdressers and physical culture studios. In so doing the exposure of scandal is only eclipsed by feminine pulchritude. The casting of the 33 women was perhaps the greatest contribution to the undoubted success of the production. |
