The Squab Farm was a comedic play about the film industry staged on Broadway in 1918.
It starred several former film directors as well as actress Alma Tell[1][2] and a 16-year-old Tallulah Bankhead[3] in her first stage role.
She was reportedly chastised for whistling in the communal dressing room, unknowingly breaking one of the theater's oldest superstitions and fellow actress Julia Bruns took pity on her and invited to share her dressing room.
The play was a satire that compared a motion picture set to a barnyard.
