Read Narrative
"To aid Her Royal Highness Princess Louise's Comforts Fund for the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders two clever plays were given on Thursday evening in the Atheneum Hall, Glasgow. The plays in question were" Uncle Sam's Heiress" and" All in the Day's Work." Miss Glenda Graham, who appeared in the roles of dramatist, actress and singer, scored a great success. Her impersonation of "Captain Brutherford " was a very clever bit of acting. Amongst others who played their parts quite admirably were Miss Sterling, as the fussy old Uncle," and Miss Staunton, who made a delightful "Betty Baring." Miss Bolton and Miss Gilmour, in their smaller parts, must also be highly commended on their performance. The cast was composed entirely of ladies. A quite excellent concert was also provided and amongst those who took part in the programme special praise is due to Miss Edith Liateley, Miss Herron, Mr. W. Findlater Macdonald, Mr. Douglas Shanks, Mrs. Vallings and Mrs. Herbertson." ('Gentlewoman' 4 Jan 1919)
