Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... act I The curtain rises on the hall, obviously used as the common room of a country house. On the right (of the audience) is the outer door and a staircase that runs down from an upper landing toward the middle of the room, half hiding what has once been a separate smaller room with a baize door at the back.
