[H.L. Mencken, one of two publishers of the literary magazine, Smart Set, recalled in his autobiography, My Life as Author and Editor: “’Miss Thompson’ was meat too strong for the popular magazines, which were the chief American markets, and so Maugham’s agent, the American Play Company, was unable to sell it. As a last resort, it was sent to my partner and we published it in the issue for April 1921 and it almost went unnoticed.”]
It was turned into the movie RAIN, about which go here.
