Full House

Full House is a comedy by Welsh composer and actor Ivor Novello (1893-1951). Produced in the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, 1935 with Heather Thatcher, Isabel Jeans, and Lilian Braithwaite.
Of course it contains a pretty good spanking scene and it's F/F, a rarity.
And it was considered one of the play’s real highlights: ‘You must go to see Heather Thatcher get her spanking in the good old-fashioned way from Isabel Jeans,’ exhorted the critic in The Stage, while The Times summed up the play as being about ‘how Lady April came, was smacked, but conquered’. (She ends up, as you may have guessed, with John; Archie and Lola don’t need that divorce after all.) The society journal The Tatler really went to town on the spanking, illustrating its review with a caricature of the scene captioned ‘When Girl Spanks Girl’:
‘For me,’ wrote the reviewer, ‘none of Mr Novello’s desperately bright dialogue had the comic vitality of the moment when Lola wrestled with the Olympic runner and heartily spanked her across the divan.’ The following week, it gave up a whole page to photographs of the scene, part of a set specially posed on September 11, three weeks into the London run.
And according to Ivor Novello’s biographer, Paul Webb:
‘The sight of Miss Thatcher’s bottom being spanked may have led to more gentlemen of a certain sort sliding into the dress circle, for there was an electric sense of sex in the air during that scene.’
