The Stage, 5 and 12 September 1918, listed The Man Who Stayed at Home as On Tour from 9 September at the S.P. Pier, Southsea. ‘On Monday and for the rest of the week the famous spy play, “The Man who Stayed at Home,” will be the special attraction’ at the South Parade Pier, Portsmouth (Hampshire Telegraph, 6 September 1918).

The Portsmouth Evening News, Monday 16 May 1921, advertised at the South Parade Pier, Portsmouth on Monday-Wednesday Cupid in Hospital and on Thursday-Saturday the 3-Act play The K.C. Also: ‘The entertainments and attractions provided during the holiday period on the South Parade Pier, under the direction of Mr. F. G. Robson, were of the usual high-class character … in the afternoon [yesterday] a strong company of artistes, who made up their deficiency in numbers by the quality of their acting, gave the first performance of a brilliant little comedy, “Cupid in Hospital,” which will run till to-morrow evening, when its place will be taken by an equally attractive play, “The K.C.”’ (Portsmouth Evening News, Tuesday 17 May 1921).
