Performance Notes"...The Theatrical Ladies' Guild will offer tea, amusement, instruction, and a chance of helping a deserving and well-managed chairty to a company that will doubtless be very large. The tea-tables will be graced by the presence of Miss Ellen Terry, Miss Marion Terry, Lady Alexander, Lady Tree and some 20 more hostesses, all eminent actresses or eminent actors' wives."
