I am slightly hampered by there being no dates in my father's scrapbook on most of the press cuttings. Also, there are few indications of their sources. It is clear in some cases that items must have been sent over to the UK by Dennis. The example above has Dennis's annotation of "My leading lady" with an arrow pointing to Carolyn Thompson (in the stage version of The Vagabond King). Other items are obviously from UK publications.
The scrapbook was started before my father got married (pre-1929) as the address in the back suggests that he was living with his mother and father at the time. Thereafter there are address changes that indicate he was married.
Cuttings are not stuck in the scrapbook in chronological order. The first image is from the film of The Vagabond King whereas information about the stage production follows although it was earlier, in the States.
