Notes:

"On a sweltering evening in mid-August 1920 ... this comedy called 'Enter Madame' slipped quietly into New York by way of then idle Garrick Theatre and immediately establishing itself as one of those happy plays which cause stampedes at the box office ... The play was written by Gilda Varesi and Dolly Byrne, though, in its earlies days, the identity of Varesi herself as one of the authors was discreetly hidden behind the nom de plume of Giulia Conti..."--Foreword.
