I replaced the original page with this to have the proper name in the title (Gertrude E. Jennings). It was my page originally and I couldn't edit its title otherwise than to delete the original and replace it with this. Whitespeck (talk) 19:43, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone advise why this page is classified as of low importance/stub class when the subject is the best writer of one-act plays outside France (Courteline) as far as I know, and between 1910 and 1920 at least composed many fine plays in the one-act field who captures her period as well as the best authors of that period. If Wikipedia is dissatisfied with the present coverage (not that there is much information available at present) why denigrate the subject?Whitespeck (talk) 23:55, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A Woman's Influence, date[edit]

The date could be 1910 instead of 1912. "A Woman's Influence" was performed in 1910 according to this link: https://picryl.com/media/suffrage-matinee-organized-by-beatrice-forbes-robertson-for-benefit-of-equality Out-of-print-books (talk) 16:46, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Out-of-print-books:Thanks for pointing this out. Dates of British plays can be problematic. This one was published, possibly in 1913, by the Actresses' Franchise League - see British Library catalogue. Plays of that era were generally not published. Plays had to be licensed by the Lord Chamberlain's Office for public performance so technically that would be the date. But the LCO records are not online. The article has been amended to show that the play was performed in 1909 according to articles in the British Newspaper Archive. Gertrude206 (talk) 22:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
