''Ladies’ Night'' was a 1920 Broadway farce-comedy in three acts originally written by Charlton Andrews and later reworked by Avery Hopwood. The play was produced by Albert Herman Woods and opened under the direction of Bertram Harrison on August 9, 1920 at the Eltinge 42nd Street Theatre. ''Ladies’ Night'' had a run of 360 performances with the final curtain falling in June, 1921. An adaption of ''Ladies' Night'' entitled ''Ladies' Night at the Turkish Bath'' was produced by George W. Brandt nearly thirty years later at the Selwyn Theater in New York.〔The New Plays-The New York Times; August 8, 1920, pg. 70〕〔(Ladies’ Night – Internet Broadway Database )〕〔(Ladies' Night at the Turkish Bath Internet Broadway Database )〕 ==Synopsis== ''Burns Mantle Yearbook'', 1921 *Act I. —Jimmy Walters' Apartment. Time — 8 P. M. *Act II. — The Larchmont Baths. Time — Midnight. *Act III. — Same as Act I. Time — 1.15 A. M. Jimmy Walters is a bashful man. Because of his unfortunate reaction to the sight of bare shoulders Jimmy is in danger of becoming a recluse. Also a prude. Therefore, his friends decide he should be cured. They take him to a certain fancy-dress ball where he will see so much flesh he will never again be frightened by a little. The ball is raided and in escaping, Jimmy, dressed as a lady, climbs through the window of a Turkish-bath parlor next door. Fearing arrest, he has a brisk time of it avoiding the attendants, and later, being discovered, it is a little difficult for him to explain to his wife that he did not deliberately plan the masquerade.〔( Burns Mantle Yearbook, Volume 2 - Louis Kronenberger 1921, pg. 365 (Google Books) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ladies' Night (play)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
