Regent Theatre, Longton

Ernest R. Abbott's company played at the Regent Theatre, Longton, from 10 July to 5 August 1922. In the second week they performed Neither Wife Nor Maid. The Staffordshire Sentinel, 15 July 1922, advertised, for the following week, the second week of Ernest R. Abbott’s principal repertoire company, including Miss Ada Abbott, at the Regent Theatre, Longton, in Neither Wife Nor Maid (‘The Great Problem Play … For Adults Only’) on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, Hearts and Home on Wednesday and Thursday, and East Lynne on Friday. ‘Mr. Ernest R. Abbott’s Company made many friends in Longton last week, and the management have done well in securing them for a further period. On Monday evening they appeared in “Neither Wife nor Maid,” and a particularly pleasing interlude was the appearance of John Johnston with his sagacious bull terrier. “Hearts and Homes” and “East Lynne” will also be played during the week’ (Staffordshire Sentinel, 18 July 1922).
