Playhouse, Oswestry

‘On Monday evening Ernest R. Abbot’s company opened here [the Playhouse, Oswestry] for the week with the drama Neither Wife nor Maid, and were well received by good houses.

The child part of Tommy was feelingly and naturally played by Nellie Crowther. Sapho is also billed for this week’. The Stage, 13 April 1916.
