The Boy, a musical comedy by Fred Thompson and Percy Greenbank

The Boy, a musical comedy by Fred Thompson and Percy Greenbank, adapted from The Magistrate by A W Pinero, with music by Lionel Monckton and Howard Talbot. First produced at the Adelphi Theatre on 14 September 1917, it ran for 801 performances. The central joke is that, because his mother has subtracted years from her age, the boy is older than he is said to be, and so only too happy to be grabbed by the young women. Touring to the Kursaal, Bognor, production by MacDonald and Young. Date: circa 1918

The Lady Traveller: Olive MacLeod in Africa 1911

Olive MacLeod depicted outside her bivouac in "the heart of Africa". MacLeod was the younger daughter of the Permanent Under-Secretary for Scotland Sir Reginald MacLeod and travelled through Central Africa with Mr and Mrs Percy A. Talbot, covering 3700 miles, six months of which was spent in land never before visited by white women. Macleod undertook this expedition between August 1910 and May 1911 to visit the grave of her lover Lieutenant Boyd Alexander who was murdered by indigeounous people in French Soudan. This article came shortly after she returned home safely and also shows smaller images of Mr Talbot, a district commissioner in Southern Africa and fellow of the Zoological and Anthropological Societies, and Mrs Talbot, a botanist.
