The Late Christopher Bean

''The Late Christopher Bean'' is a comedy drama adapted from ''Prenez garde à la peinture'' by René Fauchois. It exists in two versions: an American adaptation by Sidney Howard (1932) and an English version by Emlyn Williams (1933). Williams's is an anglicisation of Howard's, with the action moved from near Boston to the English countryside. The events are unchanged, although two characters are renamed. The family maid, Abby in Howard's version, becomes Gwenny, a Welsh woman of mature years, and the ''ingénues young admirer Warren Creamer becomes the Scottish Bruce McRae in Williams's adaptation.

Howard's version was first published in 1932 under the title ''Muse of All Work''. It was first performed at the Ford's Opera House in Baltimore on October 24, 1932. It opened a week later on Halloween at the Henry Miller's Theatre in New York. It was produced by Gilbert Miller. After the initial run it was neglected and was not revived in New York until 2009.〔Suskin, Steven. "Revival Restores 'Late's' Luster", ''Variety'', November 16, 2009, p. 32.〕

Williams's version opened at the St James's Theatre, London on May 16, 1933;〔"St James's Theatre", ''The Times'', May 17, 1933, p. 12〕 it ran for 488 performances.〔"St. James's Theatre has its Longest Run", ''The Times'', January 6, 1956, p. 3〕 Like the American production, it was produced by Gilbert Miller.〔Brown, Ivor. "The Late Christopher Bean", ''The Manchester Guardian'', May 17, 1933, p. 8〕 The play was revived at the Victoria Palace in 1936.〔"Victoria Palace", ''The Times'', May 5, 1936, p. 14〕 During the Second World War Edith Evans headed the cast in a revival under the auspices of ENSA which toured India entertaining the troops.〔"Dame Edith Evans", ''The Times'', 15 October 1976, p. 19〕 There was a London revival at the Embassy Theatre in 1951.〔Embassy Theatre, ''The Times'', February 21, 1951, p. 7〕

The play depicts the effect on a respectable but not well-off family of the discovery that paintings bequeathed to them by a neglected artist are now highly regarded and very valuable. The ensuing outbreak of avarice affects most of the household, but the family's maid, Abby/Gwenny, remains uncorrupted and virtue is finally triumphant.
