Promotional photograph of the Broadway production of Emlyn Williams' play <i>The Corn Is Green</i>
<ul><li>Caption reads as follows:<br>THELMA SCHNEE in <i>The Corn Is Green</i><br>Another beginner who reached the New York stage by way of training in college drama departments and apprenticeship in Summer Theatres, Thelma Schnee was given her first professional start two years ago … The role of Bessie Watty in the current Emlyn Williams success, starring Ethel Barrymore, is a part to delight an actress willing to play for characterization rather than mere charm. Miss Schnee's Bessie is as vulgar, adolescent and sensuous as she is meant to be. The young actress presents her ably and not without malice, underlining the essential amoral selfishness of the growing girl. In the last act, shown here, Bessie comes back to Miss Moffat's house, bringing her unwanted baby, flaunting her fine feathers and explaining to the squire, played by Edmond [sic] Breon, just how she intends to exploit an unhappy situation.</li></ul>
