About the author
Grace Cooke Strong is an elusive figure in the historical record, but surviving catalog and library sources show that she was an early 20th-century playwright. Her known works include The Girl and the Undergraduate (published in 1912) and Marrying Belinda, along with The Templeton Teapot: A Farce in One Act.
Her writing that remains easiest to trace today is theatrical and comic. The Templeton Teapot was published by Walter H. Baker & Co. and later preserved by Project Gutenberg, which has helped keep her work available to modern readers interested in vintage stage comedy.
Because reliable biographical details about her life are scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to remember her through the plays themselves: short, performance-friendly comedies from the early 1900s, with a clear taste for farce and drawing-room humor.
