Victoria Hall, Saltaire

The Shipley Times and Express, 8 October 1927, advertised the Bradford I.L.P. Arts Guild (Dramatic Section) in ‘The Shewing Up of Blanco Posnet’ and ‘The Man of Destiny’ at the Victoria Hall, Saltaire for two nights only, Saturday and Monday, 22 and 24 October 1927. ‘Followers of George Bernard Shaw were treated to two presentations by the Bradford I.L.P. Arts Guild (dramatic section) at the Victoria Hall, Saltaire, on Saturday. There was a good audience. The Arts Guild, who are affiliated to the Bradford Drama League, presented “The Man of Destiny” and “ The Shewing up of Blanco Posnet.” The part of Blanco was admirably performed by Arthur Whalley, his “don’t care a toss for God” attitude at the beginning being quite well done, while his sermon on the ways of mankind at the finish was equally impressive' (Shipley Times and Express, 29 October 1927).
