Excerpt from The Price of Coal

Tm; price OF coal came from a Manchester author; it was in Lancashire dialect, but was freely translated into that of Lanarkshire, before its first production on Monday, November 1sth, 1909. The whole week was foggy, dense, yellow and stinking, but the audience (whose scantiness, thanks to the fog, was unregarded by the players), enthusiastic outside the Theatre, as they were within, bruited its excellence, and the many and urgent requests for its speedy revival were com plied with.

It has been performed by the Repertory Com pany at Carlisle, Edinburgh and Perth, while a number Of performances have been successfully given by amateurs.
