Though mentioned by D.C. Boonzaier (1923) as one of the plays done by Emilie Bevan and her company, no such play can be found. F.C.L. Bosman (1980) suggests it may if fact have been a play called called Is She Guilty? by "A. Fanequez" - a record of neither the title nor the playwright has been found.
