Pavilion, Leicester

Performed by Oswald Waller and Gloria Laurence. On the same bill were: The Decars with their trained donkey Tomato, Harold Beaumont (illusionist),T Darrell Yorke (ventriloquist), Doris Devigne (comedienne).

‘Gilbert Heron and Jessie Danvers in “The Slacker,” are top of the bill at the Pavilion next week. This is a playlet dealing with a subject made perfectly familiar to all of us [in] these military times. Although the story is strong, it is not without humour' (Leicester Evening Mail, 1 April 1916).

The Leicester Chronicle, Saturday 17 May 1930, advertised ‘the famous domestic drama’ The Black Sheep of the Family at the Pavilion Theatre on Monday-Wednesday, and a Thursday matinee, in the following week. The author of the play is not named, so there is no certainty that it was Gladys Hastings Walton, but no other play with the same title was licensed by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office.

Thurs/Fri/Sat. 6.40 & 8.55. (Thurs at 3pm) A Soldier's Divorce (Leicester Chronicle - Saturday 9 August 1930)
