Further Information In addition there were 16 actors playing jurors and spectators. As the cast is mostly male, the ladies may be deprived of a little of their usual pleasure of looking at lovely frocks, but they will be so interested in the unfolding of the play that they will forget this. (Evening Star, 1/11/1941, page 5).
