The Monster
GM Productions was registered on 3rd March 1928 with the express purpose of acquiring exclusive London rights to THE MONSTER from Olga Lindo Productions. (‘Financial News’, The Stage 8th March 1928, page 2.)
The character Alvin Bruce was renamed Michael on this occasion.
Olga Lindo’s initial touring production (qv) had an entirely different cast, and it was revived before this West End presentation closed.
