Actress Mary Mannering created a sensation playing the lead role
in the historical drama 'Janice Meredith," the tale of a loyalist girl
who aids the patriot cause and juggles suitors across the political
spectrum. The title character was a teenage girl with an engagingly
obnoxious attraction to genteel young men, an underdeveloped sense of
political responsibility, and a curious obliviousness to her own
attractiveness. In short, she was not a stock character, but a
personality. The show was a major hit, in part because of the American
cultural fashion for the colonial revival, and in part because author
Paul Liester Ford was murdered by his famous athlete brother during the
run.
