ANONYMOUS Characters : oe Skinner — known as ' Skinny ' DONALD CALTROP
Scene : The empty stage of any theatre of Variety, on a Sunday afternoon
This little play is anonymous. Such reticence on the part of an author betokens one who no longer cares for fame, or is certainly no ' beginner.' All we know is that it was written some years ago with the idea that the late James Welch should play the part of ' Skinny ' ; that it was laid aside and rediscovered on the last of those rare occasions when the author spring cleans; that just at that time, the author had seen the performance of Donald Calthrop in the character of an old stage hand and determined that his play should be performed, with Donald Calthrop in the chief part.
