Read Narrative
When Arthur Rosebery advertised in The Era, 14 May 1919, for theatres for For Sweethearts and Wives, and inserted a theatrical card in the same publication describing himself as ‘Business Manager, Publicity Expert, and Press Agent’, his address was the Opera House, Burton-on-Trent. However, when he inserted a theatrical card in The Era, 21 May 1919, his address for that week was the Opera House, Burton-on-Trent. And The Stage, 15 and 22 May 1919, listed For Sweethearts and Wives as On Tour from 19 May at the O.H., Burton-on-Trent. So was the company at the Opera House for two weeks?

The Stage, 3 July 1919: does not list 'Coming Home' as being on tour; but lists instead ‘Edmonds, E. Vivian 30, R., Chester; July 7, O.H., Burton-on-Trent’.
