An update:  after sending all the wonderful information folks sent me 
about bread for the play "The Drawer Boy" being done by the 
Contemporary American Theatre Company (CATCO) in Columbus, Ohio, to 
the director and the actor involved -- the overwhelming 
recommendation/memory/historical fact was that it should be white 
bread -- the director and actor have decided to use white bread.  The 
actor will have one loaf kneaded, shaped, and risen in advance, and 
knead another on stage, then put the risen loaf in the oven.  So 
thanks for the advice -- it changed their minds about what was best 
to do to stay true to the play's setting and time!
