A hundred-year-old man and his relatives are like the well-known pebble in the pool and its widening circle of ripples, but Papa's birthday, he insists, will be celebrated at a party which will bring together all the surviving members of his large and scattered clan…. |

During the third act Mrs W. B. Harris, Mrs H. G. Cotterill, Miss L. Hanham, and Mr S. Marshall were heard in effective numbers off stage, the steel guitar accompaniment being played by a pupil of Miss Elaine Moody. The overture and entr'acte items were played by the Society's honorary orchestra under the baton of Mr J G. Parry and were much appreciated. (Press, 6 Oct).
