In 1999
''In 1999'' is a 1912 one-act comedic short play by William C. deMille, originally produced by Jesse L. Lasky, that was popular upon its release. Its gags are based on a future where gender roles are reversed.
==Production==
The piece debuted at the Fifth Avenue Theatre on Broadway in New York City on February 5, 1912, and starred Florence Nash, Joseph W. Jefferson (son of Joseph Jefferson),〔(2 May 1919). (Joseph W. Jefferson Dies; Son of the Famous Actor Starred Years Ago in "The Rivals" ), ''The New York Times''〕 and Minnette Barrett.〔(6 February 1912).

(The Stage in the Twentieth Century: Third Volume ), p. 280 (1912)〕〔(10 February 1912). ''Review'', ''Variety''〕〔(9 March 1912). (The Feminists Break into Vaudeville ), ''Collier's'', p. 46〕 The sketch was performed for a number of years in theatres throughout the United States.〔deMille, William C. (Hollywood Saga ), p. 130 (1939) ("which was played for years all over the country by Joseph Jefferson, the younger, with Florence Nash and Minette Barrett.... my first production for Jesse L. Lasky ...")〕
Considered a satire of the popular problem plays of the day, the sketch portrays a world of the future where women and men have reversed roles from 1912, with husbands performing domestic chores and the women spending time at their clubs, and tells the tale of a love triangle with the typical speeches reversed by gender. It proved particularly popular with female audience members.〔Kibler, M. Alison. (Rank Ladies: Gender and Cultural Hierarchy in American Vaudeville ), p. 48-49 (1999)〕〔Bleiler, Everett F. (Science-fiction, the Early Years ), p. 190 (1990)〕〔(14 May 1912). (In "1999" Not So Good ), ''Brooklyn Eagle'', p. 15, col. 3〕
