Civil Service Luncheon Club, London

The performance date shown is conjectural. ‘Acton Civil Service Orchestral Society and Acton (W.E.A.) Dramatic Group joined forces in providing what must be a unique entertainment at the Civil Service Luncheon Club. An audience of 500 testified to the growing popularity of variety entertainments, comprising, on this occasion, excellent orchestral selections, well-balanced variety items, and two one-act plays … Of the plays, G. B. Shaw’s “Shewing Up of Blanco Posnet” was an easy winner, the entire company sustaining the Shavian philosophy from beginning to end ... This play was preceded in the first half of the programme by A. A. Milne’s “The Man in the Bowler Hat” …’. West Middlesex Gazette, Saturday 8 December 1928.
