‘An excellent performance was given at each house at the Boro’ Theatre, North Shields, last night. The principal attraction was Tom Major’s “Special Edition,” a very interesting and amusing revue, with music by J. E. Machin. Among the principal artistes are such favourites as Kitty Major, Tubby Stevens, and Frank Gregory, hoop manipulator. One of the features is the “Soldiers’ Wives” Company, composed of dependants on soldiers. Other performers who take a prominent part are Jay Junior, May Baron, Nora Hilton, and Lily Ennis, and the Dorothy Troupe of Dancers' (Shields Daily News, Saturday 30 July 1918).
