Notes
-
In its 13 January issue, Just It 1926 records: 'The show at [Clay's] Gaiety is on the evergreen subject of Puss in Boots, but the Bridge Theatre, Newtown, is credited with originality for the panto there is founded on the long dormant subject of The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" (29). The following week the same journal noted: 'Out Newtown way a clever librettist has concocted an excellent pantomime on the rather unusual idea of The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. The scenery, ballets and costumes of these suburban shows are on a most liberal scale and reflect credit on the enterprising Clay management' (20 January 1927, p.29).
