Prior to his more well-known work, Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie wrote a play in four acts called Quality Street. Two sisters in the narrative open a school "for aristocratic children." In 1901, the first Broadway production debuted, and it barely ran for 64 performances. The musical was then performed in London, where it ran for 459 performances and became a success. Up until World War II, it was regularly renewed. The drama was adapted for the screen twice; in the first, in 1927, Marion Davies starred, and in the second, in 1937, Katharine Hepburn did. Christopher Hassall and Harry Parr Davies' adaptation for musical theater, Dear Miss Phoebe, debuted in 1950. Quality Street chocolates and caramels were named after the play since it was so well-liked, and the confectionery's initial advertising and packaging featured playgoers. Hicks and Terriss' cul-de-sac was renamed "Quality Street" when they relocated to a new house, The Old Forge in Merstham, Surrey. The play had its world premiere on October 11, 1901, at the Valentine Theatre in Toledo, Ohio. It was produced by Charles Frohman and starred Maude Adams, but it only lasted for 64 moderately successful performances.

The scene is the blue and white room in the house of the Misses Susan and Phoebe Throssel in Quality Street; and inthis little country town there is a satisfaction about living in Quality Street which even religion cannot give. Throughthe bowed window at the back we have a glimpse of the street. It is pleasantly broad and grass-grown, and is linked tothe outer world by one demure shop, whose door rings a bell every time it opens and shuts. Thus by merely peeping, every one in Quality Street can know at once who has been buying a Whimsy cake, and usually why. This bell is themost familiar sound of Quality Street. Now and again ladies pass in their pattens, a maid perhaps protecting themwith an umbrella, for flakes of snow are falling discreetly. Gentlemen in the street are an event; but, see, just as weraise the curtain, there goes the recruiting sergeant to remind us that we are in the period of the Napoleonic wars. If hewere to look in at the window of the blue and white room all the ladies there assembled would draw themselves up; theyknow him for a rude fellow who smiles at the approach of maiden ladies and continues to smile after they have passed.However, he lowers his head to-day so that they shall not see him, his present design being converse with the MissesThrossel's maid

J.M. Barrie Comedy Characters: 6 male 9 female Interior Set Quality Street is a cup of exquisite comic delight. Set in England about 1800 it is alive with elegant humor and wit. There are several maiden women in the action some of them a bit sour and curiously officious. But the one named Phoebe with the plain face is a sparkling lass whose heart flutters for a bachelor by the name of Valentine who is expected on a visit. Sadly we learn Valentine has come back not to propose to Miss Phoebe but to announce his enlistment in the Napoleonic wars. And Phoebe and her sister have met economic misfortune by teaching at a primary school. Rejuvenated by his return Phoebe in a carefree moment discards her prim clothes and expression and becomes a gay young girl extravagant with her smiles as well as with her dances at the military balls. The transformation is so complete that Phoebe is mistaken for a fictitious niece. The deception increases the merriment and produces many sudden changes of the plot. Valentine discovers his love for Phoebe and then fortunately discovers the precarious plot in time to save it from the mischievous women. Surely this is one of the most endearing and enduring of all comedies.

If he were to look in at the window of the blue and white room all the ladies there assembled would draw themselves up; they know him for a rude fellow who smiles at the approach of maiden ladies and continues to smile after they have passed. However, he lowers his head to-day so that they shall not see him, his present design being converse with the Misses Throssel's maid.The room is one seldom profaned by the foot of man, and everything in it is white or blue. Miss Phoebe is not present, but here are Miss Susan, Miss Willoughby and her sister Miss Fanny, and Miss Henrietta Turnbull. Miss Susan and Miss Willoughby, alas, already wear caps; but all the four are dear ladies, so refined that we ought not to be discussing them without a more formal introduction. There seems no sufficient reason why we should choose Miss Phoebe as our heroine rather than any one of the others, except, perhaps, that we like her name best. But we gave her the name, so we must support our choice and say that she is slightly the nicest, unless, indeed, Miss Susan is nicer.Miss Fanny is reading aloud from a library book while the others sew or knit. They are making garments for our brave soldiers now far away fighting the Corsican Ogre.MISS FANNY. '... And so the day passed and evening came, black, mysterious, and ghost-like. The wind moaned unceasingly like a shivering spirit, and the vegetation rustled uneasily as if something weird and terrifying were about to happen. Suddenly out of the darkness there emerged a Man.
