February 1922: The Princess’s Pantomime – “Peter Wilkins”
An article on page eight of The Glasgow Herald, on Tuesday the 21st of February, 1922, reads:
“THE PRINCESS’S PANTOMIME
The lark has already been heard in song in the Glasgow
suburbs and the thrush has opened his spring season,
yet pantomime on the South Side still keeps our thoughts
back to the dark, short days of Christmastide. It is a tribute
to ‘Peter Wilkins’ that his doings on the boards of the
Princess’s Theatre should continue to interest despite the
lengthening day and the desire to put winter behind us. The
piece goes with a swing and a freshness that delight large
audiences nightly. The catchy songs and the infectious
comedy business that is so abundant throughtout the evening,
combined with the attractive staging, make up a thoroughly
enjoyable entertainment.”
The last week of the pantomime commenced on Monday the 3rd of April.
