** The plot of ''These Three'' is censored due to UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode. In the original play the accusation is Martha and Karen [[MistakenForGay are a couple]], and Karen is [[YourCheatingHeart cheating]] on her fiancee. In the 1936 version it's assumed Martha and ''Joe'' are cheating. Thus many of Joe's lines are given to Karen, and his anxiety over the concept of his girlfriend cheating on him is transferred to her. The climax and ending are completely different. Instead of [[spoiler:Joe leaving Karen]] it is [[spoiler:Karen who didn't believe Joe]]. The dialogue afterwards between Karen and Martha is considerably less dramatic [[spoiler:as Martha is calmly confessing her unrequited feelings for Joe instead of giving a {{gayngst}} filled AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Karen]]. The ending is a BittersweetEnding [[spoiler:where Karen and Joe reunite but the reputation of their school remains ruined]] instead of the DownerEnding of the play [[spoiler:where Martha [[DrivenToSuicide killed herself]] and Karen and Joe stay separated.]]
** ''The Childrens Hour'' film changed [[spoiler:Mary's grandmother apologizing to Karen]] to happen ''before'' [[spoiler:Martha's death]]
