Promise

Extract from 'Yearbook of the American Clan Gregor Society' 1937
"After dinner at the Roxboroughe I went by taxi to the King's Theatre to see an interesting play, "Promise", by Henri Bernstein, just from London, in which Edna Best and Madge Titheradge were featured. Orchestra stalls were priced 7/6, programs 3d. I noticed that many women wore their hats throughout the performance, and also smoked in the orchestra. Several gentlemen were present in highland dress, worn very gracefully and with naturalness and poise. The play began at 7 :45 and ended about 10:45. I walked back to my hotel, still by daylight, and so to bed."
