Curtain Rises, The

Broadcast: 12th October 1936
Starring: Cecil B DeMille
Added: Jun 13 2001
Ginger plays the part of Elsa Carling and Warren Williams is Ronald Phillips The play opens at a gay party which is taking place at Carol Stewarts New York penthouse. Everyone appears to be having a great time, everyone, that is, except Elsa Carling who is in the foyer putting her coat on. There is the suggestion of a tear in her eye and she is approached by the hostess who insists she mustn't leave. But Elsa is just as insistent that she should. As the door closes behind her the men are heard to comment. She’s too prim and proper and she ought to get rid of those spectacles.
