Mourning Becomes Electra featured Alla Nazimova and Alice Brady in 1931. The play was structured as a trilogy that took six hours to perform. In the New York Times, J. Brooks Atkinson wrote, "to this department, which ordinarily reserves its praise for the dead, Mourning Becomes Electra is Mr. O'Neill's masterpiece."
