Becky Sharp (1899), a play by Langdon
Mitchell. [
Fifth Avenue Theatre, 116 perf.] The adventurous, unprincipled Becky ( Mrs.
Fiske) rises from nothing into a life of luxury by secretly marrying Rawdon Crawley ( Maurice
Barrymore) while at the same time accepting money from the Marquis of Steyne ( Tyrone
Power). When the two men confront each other, Becky seems doomed. But, ever resourceful, she begins to wheedle a new life from the fatuous Joseph Sedley ( William F. Owen) and young Sir Pitt Crawley ( Robert V. Ferguson). The play, derived from Thackeray's
Vanity Fair, gave producer‐star Mrs. Fiske one of her greatest successes, despite the efforts of the
Theatrical Syndicate to keep it off the boards. She revived it on several occasions over the next twenty years. The
Players produced it in 1929.
