Coliseum, Airdrie

The Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser, 7 April 1934, advertised the ‘last week of the popular Northern Repertory Players’ at the Airdrie Coliseum, during which they would play The Black Sheep of the Family on Monday-Wednesday, 9-11 April. Also, ‘Walter Chapman’s Repertory Players enter upon the last week of their season at the Coliseum with two seasoned melodramas – “The Black Sheep of the Family,” which will be staged from Monday till Wednesday, and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which will replace it on Thursday’ (Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser, 7 April 1934). 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.
