POLLY WITH A PAST

1917

Polly With a Past is a three act play by George Middleton and Guy Bolton. It was originally produced by David Belasco and directed by Louis Massen. The play starred Ina Claire. 

The play takes place in an apartment in New York City in late July and a summer home in North Hampton, Long Island in early August.  It depicts the efforts of two young men to help a shy friend, Rex, win the attention of the aloof woman he loves; they arrange for their young housekeeper, Polly, to pose as a glamorous French rival for Rex's affections, but this leads to romantic complications.

Polly with a Past premiered at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City NJ on June 11, 1917. 

Before moving on to Broadway, the play was seen at two more Jersey Shore theatres: The Savoy in Asbury Park, and the Broadway in Long Branch. 

The play opened on Broadway on September 6, 1917 at the Belasco Theatre. 

The Broadway cast was headed by Ina Claire as Polly, Herbert Yost as Rex (both pictured above), with Winifred Fraser, H. Reeves-Smith, Thomas Reynolds, and Cyril Scott. It ran for nearly a year. 

The piece was presented in London in 1921 starring Edna Best and Donald Calthrop, with a supporting cast including Noël Coward, Edith Evans, Henry Kendall, Claude Rains and C. Aubrey Smith, running for three months. 

It was adapted for film in 1920 in which Ina Claire reprised her role as Polly Shannon. Clifton Webb was also in the cast. The film is now considered lost. 

The film played in Atlantic City at the Bijou Theatre, Boardwalk and South Carolina.  Opening in 1903, this was the first movie house in Atlantic City. By 1920 it had been renamed the Cort Theatre. It was was demolished in 1924.

A musical version simply titled Polly played on Broadway in 1929. Archie Leach, who later became known as Cary Grant, was in an out-of-town tryout of the musical. Also in the cast were Fred Allen (in a newly-created part) and June Tripp in the title role. Leach was replaced as Rex by John Hundley for the Broadway run, which opened at the Lyric Theatre on January 8, 1929, and closed after just 15 performances.

Three Broadway Girls
