Dorothy Green (1886-1961) is seen here in Einar Nerman's cartoon as Mrs. Malaprop in Sheridan's The Rivals which opened at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, 5 March 1925 with a distinguished cast including Claude Rains as Faulkland, Isabel Jeans as Lydia Languish and Angela Baddeley as Lucy.
Dorothy Green was a very experience Shakespearean actress, having toured with Frank Benson's Company and worked in Stratford with the New Shakespeare Company. The Rivals was another success for Sir Nigel Playfair, the owner of the Lyric Theatre who had purchased its lease when it was a derelict building in 1918 and transformed it into a highly successful venue, putting Hammersmith firmly on the theatrical map.
