This distinguished company of players gave its first public performance in the Royal Institute, Glasgow, in January, 1921. Next year the Players gave a command performance at Balmoral Castle, when two comedies, Cute McCheyne, by Joseph Laing Waugh and A.P. Wilson, and A Valuable Rival, by Neil F. Grant, were presented. In 1923 this latter play gave London its first glimpse of the Players. Many notable authors have contributed successes to the Players' productions, including George Bernard Shaw, James Bridie, John Brandane, George Blake, Gordon Bottomley, Robert Bain, George Reston Malloch, A.W. Yuill, and J.A. Ferguson. Over a hundred plays have been presented in the past fourteen years, over seventy of which were original plays given for the first time on any stage.
