Evidence: | 'A play-reading of Galsworthy's Skin-Game was then given. The members taking part were as follows
Hillcrest R.H. Robson
Amy, his wife Miss Marriage
Jill his daughter Miss R. Wallis
Dawker his agent R.B. Graham
Hornblower E.E. Unwin
Charles his soldier son S.A. Reynolds
Chloe wife to Charles Miss M. Hayward
Rolf his younger son R.B. Graham
Fellows & Anna Mrs Unwin
the Jackmans Mr & Mrs H.R. Smith
An auctioneer H.R. Smith
The reading was much enjoyed & gave rise to a short but interesting discussion as to Galsworthy's meaning. R.B. Graham put forward an interesting suggestion that the play was symbolic of the struggle seen in the war.'
