Soldiers' Play at the Concert Party
The 15th Coast Brigade RCA and the BC Hussars seemed to have gotten together to stage a play at the Orpheum Theatre. We know very little about the event. In the Accessions Ledger, it only states that Sergeant F. DeWest is at the organ. The other facts that we know are that the BC Hussars were reroled as the the 1st Searchlight Regiment in May of 1939. Could we make an assumption that this play was produced prior to that event, although World War 2 did not begin until 10 September 1939?
The two newspaper articles from 1939 indicate a show by the title "Glimmers from the Glowworms" and also "Shellsapoppin'". We're not sure if either of these titles reflect the work on stage in the photos.
