East Lynne
by
Mrs. Henry Woods

Season 42
Jan 24 to Jan 30, 1955

East Lynne was a tongue-in-cheek production of the "celebrated melodrama" by Mrs. Henry Woods. The house program lists everyone only by surname preceded by Miss, Mr. or Mrs., so all the first names that appear below are the result of guesswork. If you can correct or supply a first name, please let us know.

The entertainment included a Puppet Show during the interval, as well as additional songs, opera selections, a male quartet, ditties and a "Restoration Piece".
