The Circle
Theater: Playhouse
Opening Date: April 18, 1938
Performances: 72Playwright: Somerset Maugham
Director: Bretaigne Windust
Producer: William A. BradyPartial Cast: Grace George, May Marshall, Bramwell Fletcher, Audrey Ridgwell, John Emery, Cecil Humphreys
Tallulah's Role: Elizabeth
with Grace GeorgeTallulah received good reviews playing a young woman thinking about leaving her husband for another man. She accepted the part strictly for the money and decided not to grudge Somerset Maugham. An intense hot summer and no air conditioning was part of the reason the play closed so soon.
Tallulah's Comment: "The Circle endured until wilted by hot weather - a run of nine weeks. Who was I to jeer at a nine week run? I had cooled off Cleopatra in five performances."
