actress playing the same role. "The Times" wrote that "last night's performance only deepened a conviction that the first choice could be Emily Stevens. She plays with a power, a penetration, and an unerring precision that are an unfailing delight. Her performance is one of the finest achievements of the season." She scored a marked success in March 1924 with "Fata Morgana", a Theatre Guild production, presented at the Garrick Theatre. Stevens' final role was that of the "widow" in a Theatre Guild production of "The Second Man". She succeeded Lynn Fontanne in this part in July 1927. Stevens played the character until the production closed in October.
