Overview

Leonora Fiske, a retired “actress” with a bevy of wealthy male admirers, gets along splendidly with her housekeeper, Ellen Creed. That is, until Ellen invites her two simpleton sisters as house guests. When the visit turns into an extended stay that threatens to become permanent, Miss Fiske furiously insists that the sisters be sent away. Ellen has the perfect solution with only one less than savory compromise of her morals. No one seems to notice Fiske’s mysterious disappearance until Ellen’s nephew, Albert, turns up. Rather than familial affection, he brings with him a criminal record and a suspicion that Miss Fiske’s sudden departure may not have been as voluntary as Ellen claims. In the original production directed by co-author Reginald Denham, Dame Flore Robson gave a career-defining performance as Ellen Creed.
