Opening Night
The new enterprise was originally advertised as "A Bright, Cosy Theatre for the presentation of successful WEST END PLAYS." Opening night was scheduled for September 1924, but the doors finally opened to the public on Boxing Day 26 December 1924 with a production of Gertrude Jenning's The Young Person in Pink. But the occasion was marred by the over-selling of tickets, resulting in a number of disappointed and angry ticket-holders.

off on scag, the women in labor
pushing forth a pink head,

rocks and sea water....”
