Sex (1926), a play by Jane Mast. [Daly's Theatre, 375 perf.] Margie LaMont ( Mae
West) shares her apartment with a blackmailing gigolo. When he drugs a rich socialite, Margie rescues her. But the woman, fearing for her reputation, accuses Margie of theft. So Margie gets even by seducing the woman's son. Not only was the show panned by critics, but many newspapers refused to accept its advertisements. As a result the producer flooded New York with posters boldly plugging the title. The show was still playing to good business when it was raided by the police. West was hauled into court and sentenced to ten days in the workhouse. Jane Mast was to have been Miss West's pen name. An Off‐Off‐Broadway revival in 2000 proved that the controversial play was more than a curiosity.
