Gentlemen Prefer Blondes staged at Waterloo theatre
The Selwyn comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes starring Joan Marion at Waterloo theatre drew a large audience. Marion played Lorelei Lee with charm, supported by Mary Ricard and William Coureen, in a brisk farce set on an ocean liner Paris Ritz and New York scenes. The play, praised for wit and broad humor, delighted most, though some laughed quietly at the risqué innuendo and blondes theme.
