1928ref. 2341504New York: Robert M. McBride & Company / J.J. Little & Ives Company 1928. First English Translation. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 0x0x0. Darcy Lyse. First English translation. Boards faintly foxed 1 inch closed tear to front jacket corner with tiny associated chip jacket spine faded. 1928 Hard Cover. xvi 4 16-147 1 pp. 8vo. An English translation of the French play which was suppressed by legal authorities in New York City after fewer than two weeks at the Comedy Theatre in 1928 after being deemed an 'immoral' play. Drama critic Alexander Woollcott who called it "so beautiful a play. that it cannot fail. But. there is always the chance that New York will fail." later commented that the play was censored "in almost medieval secrecy. by the murderously effective and to my notion entirely vicious law." The play examines the world of prostitution in a controversial manner similar to Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession which suffered the same treatment by authorities. This censorship inspired an outpouring of equally controversial dramatic productions leading to the Wales Padlock Law of 1927 which allowed playwrights producers and actors to be criminally prosecuted for their roles in these allegedly immoral works. Maya was the first play against which the law was used Wainscott The Emergence of the Modern American Theater 1914-1929 p. 76. This publication in book form followed the suppression of the play and the jacket illustration by Darcy this is probably Art Deco illustrator Lyse Darcy who produced a number of well-known advertisements for the French cosmetics company Guerlain showing two pairs of hands suggestively reaching upward towards the title character seems to be an open act of defiance against the law. The play inspired a film of the same name in 1949 starring Jean-Pierre Grenier and Viviane Romance which was directed by Raymond Bernard. Robert M. McBride & Company / J.J.
