(no subject)

I was listing the plays performed at the theatre where I work in 1923-24 and came across a playwright named Oliphant Down.

Oliphant Down. What a great name.

I haven't been able to find much information about him. Apparently he was American, and wrote one play, The Maker of Dreams, which seems to have been fairly popular for a while.

A pseudonym, perhaps?

P.S. I mean no sexism. Oliphant Down may have been female. Unless that would be "Oliphante".
