Review of the YAOS 1931 production of 'The Rose of Persia'
(NOTE: “Miss Olive Duggan is rapidly coming to the fore, and played pleasingly as Blush-of-Morning, the twenty-fifth wife.” Miss Olive Duggan later became Mrs Olive Edwards, and together with her husband John were to be key members and benefactors of YAOS.)
