The Governor's Lady

The Governor's Lady is a 1912 play written by Alice Bradley, directed by David Belasco and produced by Belasco and his son-in-law David Elliott.

After previews in Philadelphia[1] and Washington[2] The Governor's Lady opened at Belasco's Republic Theatre in New York on September 10, 1912.

[3] Emma Dunn and Emmett Corrigan starred as Mary and Dan Slade, Gladys Hanson played Katherine Strickland and Milton Sills played Robert Hayes.

[6] The reasonably well-reviewed[7] and moderately commercially successful play ran 135 performances.

[3] It is primarily known as an example of Belasco's theatrical naturalism, because he recreated a Childs Restaurant on stage using materials and food from the actual restaurant chain rather than conventional representative stage scenery.
