Palace, Caerphilly

When Miss Emma Litchfield’s company advertised Home Once More in The Stage, 8 and 15 February 1917, the address for the week beginning 12 February was the Palace T., Caerphilly.

‘For next week [at the Palace, a popular picture house in Nelson, Caerphilly] Mr. Watts has engaged, at enormous expense, the personal visit of that famous actress, Miss Emma Litchfield, and her full London Company, including Mr. Conrad Stratton [sic - Stratford], in a brilliant series of plays and dramas, all calculated to intensely grip the audience … On Monday and Tuesday the company will produce the successful domestic play, “Home Once More,” and on Wednesday and Thursday, “Always the Woman,” stated to be the most human play of the day, will occupy the boards. On Friday evening there is a strong drama entitled, “Her Chinese Husband,” written by Miss Emma Litchfield, and highly spoken of by competent critics, whilst on Saturday the celebrated farcical comedy, “Facing the Music,” will be produced’.
