“The study of a Highlander, too, by Mr. Ernest Thesiger, was a perfect piece of character acting.” Aberdeen Journal, April 23, 1920

“Cameron, now a middle-aged, bearded man, brings back Mary Rose after her disappearance on the island.  After twenty-five years she comes back as youthful and fresh as before, and cannot understand why everybody has changed.  Her mother and father (Miss Mary Jerrold and Mr. Norman Forbes) greet her with subdued fear.” The Sphere, November 6, 1920

The programmes for Peter Pan written by James M. Barrie (1860-1937) and first performed at Duke of York’s Theatre, London, on 27 December 1904.

The programmes for Peter Pan written by the Scottish playwright James M. Barrie (1860-1937) and first performed at Duke of York’s Theatre, London, on 27 December 1904.

The author J.M. Barrie had first conceived of the character of Peter Pan some years before it first appeared in the novel The Little White Bird in 1902, and the story of Peter and Wendy was then developed for the stage as Peter Pan: or, The Boy who Wouldn’t Grow Up. The play was first performed at Duke of York’s Theatre, London, on 27 December 1904 in a technically-ambitious production (which many thought was doomed to failure), and Peter Pan began its run somewhat uncertainly. After a couple of weeks, however, it gained an admiring juvenile audience that ensured large audiences until it closed on 1 April 1905, and the play ‘broke all previous theatrical records and proved Barrie’s most enduring success’
