"Fedora's Defense" is a travesty that dates back many years in the Ross-Fenton repertoire, but it is brought up to the minute. It is a travesty on "Fedora" and "Mre. Dane's Defense." At the climax there is a struggle during which "Fedora" (Miss Fenton) screams for help. She easily puts the villian under her foot. This gives her the opportunity to declare: "The female of the species is more deadly than the male."
The act went over big.
