Rather than humiliating herself and others, she denies the affair, defends the two, and sets about turning bad luck, unfaithful friends, local gossip and a broken heart to her own advantage.

The Broadway premiere of The Constant Wife was at the Maxine Elliott�s Theatre on 29 Nov 1926. The last Broadway production on Broadway began performances at the Shubert Theatre on the 14 Apr 1975.
