Playhouse, Biggleswade

The Biggleswade Chronicle, Friday 25 May 1923, advertised ‘Mr. Weight’s Star Coy.’ at the Playhouse for the week beginning Monday 28 May, with a different play each night, including The Black Sheep of the Family on Saturday, 2 June. Also, ‘Mr. Weight’s theatrical company have enhanced their reputation at the Playhouse this week, and the management have honoured them with yet another re-booking. To-night the Company will present “The Unmarried Mother” and to-morrow “The black sheep of the family,” while on Saturday afternoon at a special children’s matinee “Little Red Riding Hood” will be produced’ (Biggleswade Chronicle, Friday 1 June 1923). The author of the play is not named, so there is no certainty that it was Gladys Hastings Walton, but no other play with the same title was licensed by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office.
