The Girl with the Green Eyes: A Play in Four Acts

Clyde Fitch (1865 - 1909) was an American dramatist. He wrote over 60 plays, which varied from social comedies and farces to melodrama and historical dramas. He is remembered for his works Nathan Hale (1898), The Climbers (1901), and The Girl with the Green Eyes (which ran 108 performances at the Savoy Theatre in 1902). The Girl with the Green Eyes begins with a bride and her bridesmaids. The bride has green eyes and a jealous heart. As the play progresses her jealousy increases to a point where her husband leaves her. She tries to kill herself by turning on the gas, but her husband arrives in time to save her.
