Women of Twilight
This Broadway production was previewed at Cambridge and Cardiff, after which the company sailed for the USA on Tuesday 19th February. (‘Chit Chat’, The Stage 21st February 1952, page 8.)
Both Lynda King and Marjory Clark were obliged to change their names by American Equity in order not to clash with American actresses with the same names.
