| Evidence: | Meeting held at Hillsborough :- 14. 9. 37. Reginald H. Robson in the Chair. 1. Minutes of last read & approved 2. Charles Stansfield then introduced the momentous question of the evening. Was the Book Club to end its existence? He had felt for some time that it was moribund. [...]
3. The Secretary then read this; it supported the opinions expressed by C. E. Stansfield.
9. We then turned to the work of Barrie. Howard Smith gave us a chat – he would not call it a paper – on the plays he had seen.
A considerable part of “What every woman knows” was then read in which a number of people
took part. Charles Stansfield appropriately gave a reading from My Lady Nicotine. |
