Written by Edward Percy and Reginald Denham

Directed by Keith W. Thomson

    "Saturday's first-night audience found much to its liking in the three-act, three hour drama of an old maid driven to murder and thievery "to provide a sanctuary for her two slightly "odd" sisters."
    The Florida Players' Mildred Langford makes the most of the most demanding role of her local career, as Ellen Creed, who is forced by financial reverses to become a housekeeper to a former actress Leonora Flake.
    Louise Baker's Leonora shows a fine understanding of the role; and Thayer Boswell, as Lucy the maid, is fun to watch - especially as she "warms up" to the advances of the sisters' black sheep nephew, Albert Feather.
    Scott Sutton is quite believable as Albert, getting progressively better with each scene until you can almost feel a little anxiety for him as he goes bounding off, one jump ahead of the police.
    Little Theatre fans were not a bit surprised to see Thelma Boltin steal scene after scene, as the lovable Louise Creed who like to peek through her telescope at the "little boats" sailing down the Thames.
    Lois Veith score as the other sister, the frowzy Emily who has a fondness for dead birds and wet seaweed; and Margie Smith lends a quiet dignity to the part of the nun, Sister Theresa.
    Costuming is excellent, and the set does a magnificent job of creating the atmosphere of "an old house on the marshes of the Thames Estuary." Direction by Keith W. Thomson, is outstanding". --- Jim Camp, Gainesville Daily Sun, March 27, 1950
