To production of Charley's Aunt, by Brandon Thomas, Prince of Wales Theatre, London, started 18th January 1926: “About 350 years ago, when the first London Theatre was being built, there was a strong prejudice amongst the City authorities that a number of people gathered together in one building were likely to spread disease. As a consequence the Theatre was built outside the City boundaries. James Burbage, who held a licence from Queen Elizabeth, discovered a suitable piece of ground in Shoreditch, which was beyond the City boundaries. he paid £14 a year ground rent, and spent £700 on the building. When, however, it was finished, a number of disputes arose in connection with the lease, and in a few years it was pulled down.

To production of What Every Woman Knows, by James Barrie, Apollo Theatre (Shaftesbury Avenue), London, started 1923: ““I Remeber – ” Mr. Henry Vibart. I like golf, and I have played for many years. But no one has yet called me a good golfer. For all that, I recall with pride an event of almost 12 years ago. I won a cup in a tournament…… It was the Stage Golfing Society’s Cup that I won ! The tournament took place on a very rainy day, and, on my way to the course, I felt that my chances were even worse than usual. However, only five of us turned up – and we played ! What a game ! I won the Cup ! and it happened this way. Three of the players did so badly – nearly as badly as I did – and did not trouble to send in their cards. The fourth man – he was – would you believe it – disqualified ! Taken from the programme “What Every Woman Knows” The Apollo Theatre, London 1923”
