The Stage, 22 June 1916, published an advertisement inserted by Miss Winifred Maude’s Company seeking a theatre for Somewhere A Heart Is Breaking for July 3, between Merthyr and Oldham. As the company was at Merthyr from 26 to 1 July, it must have been at Oldham two weeks later.

Read Narrative
Tails Up was originally scheduled for this week at the Royal Opera House, Leicester (Leicester Daily Post, Saturday 27 September 1919). However, the Leicester Daily Post, Monday 29 September 1919, carried a notice: ‘Opera House. The Railway Strike having prevented “Tails Up” Company reaching Leicester, the Opera House will be closed for this week’. The Stage, 2 October 1919, reported ‘“The Bing Boys on Broadway” was not able to reach Oldham, so the revue “Tails Up” is presented’. The theatre is not named but is not the Royal, whose stock company was not affected, and seems not to be the Palace, which is mentioned in the following paragraph as experiencing great difficulty in getting a full programme together.
