‘The programme for the first meeting of the Bath Playgoers’ Society, in 1921, provided for a visit from the kindred organisation at Bristol, whose members have from the first taken a warm interest in the doings of the younger society in this city. The play selected for reading was Arnold Bennett’s three-act comedy, “The Title.” The cast was: Mr. Culver, Mr. G. W. Boyd; Mrs Culver, Mrs. Welch; Hildegarde and John Culver (their children), Miss Welch and Mr. S. Gedye; Tranto, Mr. J. F. Holloway; Sampson Straight, Mr. R. H. Russell; and Miss Starkey, Miss Ostler. The stage directions were given by Mr. Harold Downs, the hon. secretary of the Bath Society. Before the reading commenced, Mr. Holloway explained that the play to be read that evening was really a war play and was first produced in 1918’.
