Play, The Mollusc
“Miss Beatrix Lehmann was very good indeed as the prime mollusc, the charming lady who takes an infinite amount of pains to do nothing until a very unconvincing climax brings her to her senses. The performance was well attended, and an excellent augury for the future of the tour.
(Beatrix was on loan from RADA, performed with the Oxford Harrovian Dramatic Society in Harrow)

“several of the coloured performers who appeared in Progy have parts in this reviavla. They are skilful actors, and a certain natural yet unobtrusive sympathy with characters of their own race deepens as we might expect the effectiveness of a play that treats of racial intermarriage. Mr Frank Wilson makes of the high minded young negro a curiously appealing figure, and what significance the dramatist has perceived in the character of the white wife Miss Beatrix Lehmann discovers for us in a performance that is beautifully clear cut."

Play, In the end of the trial by E.H. Culbertson
Miss Beatrix Lehmann plays the part of a woman who embittered by the death of her husband in the fall of rock, allows an express train to wreck itself. The part lacks variety and the crisis proper preparation.
