The Demi-Virgin
''The Demi-Virgin'' is a play written by Avery Hopwood. Producer A. H. Woods staged it on Broadway, where it was a hit during the 1921-22 season. The play is a sex farce and was considered very risqué at the time. Reviewers generally panned it, and local authorities attempted to censor it. The Broadway production resulted in obscenity charges being brought against Woods, although a grand jury declined to indict him.
==Plot==
The story centers on the character Gloria Graham, a silent film actress. Prior to the start of the story, Graham was married to fellow actor Wally Deane, but left him on their wedding night. The brevity of the union leads gossip columnists to speculate about whether the marriage was consummated. They label Graham the "demi-virgin". Forced to reunite to complete a movie, the pair bicker and each claim to have new lovers. Graham decides to seduce Deane to prove to his new fiancee that he is unfaithful. In the play's most famous scene, a group of Graham's actress friends interrupt her attempted reunion with Deane by coming to her room to play a game of strip poker, which results in them wearing very little clothing onstage. They leave when they realize Deane is there, allowing the couple to continue their tryst. In a twist, the rendezvous between Graham and Deane turns out not to be adulterous, because their divorce is not valid.
