The Historical Dictionary of the American Theater

KITTYMCKAY

The comedy byCharlotte Chisholm Cushingopened on 7 January 1914 at the Comedy Theatre for a run of 278 performances. TheNew York Timesreview (8 January 1914) headlined it as "a Scotch Cinderella" with "some excruciatingly funny scenes." The title character, a Scottish orphan raised by religious zealots, is another of Cushing's spirited heroines like the title character in her comedyJerry. The review quotes a great chunk of still-hilarious dialogue in which Kitty and her friend Mag plan revisions to the Bible.
