Elizabeth the Queen
Maxwell Anderson


Elizabeth is the hard taxed center of an irritating household which is panting after a legacy that she has received.
Having reached the breaking point, Elizabeth contracts a nice case of amnesia.
Twenty years are blotted out and she is a girl again, able to indulge in caprices and tell the members of the family what she thinks of them.
"Brimming with energy and good spirits."
— The New York Post
