Bransby Williams

The Shop at Sly Corner, another smash hit of April,1945, transferring from The St Martin‘s Theatre to the provinces a year later and advertised at the Opera House Theatre, Cheltenham, in October 1946 as ’London’s Sensational Thriller by Edward Percy, After 16 Months at the St Martin’s Theatre – and Still Running!’ This tale of murder, blackmail and closet homosexuality was made into a film in 1947 and also played on Broadway with Boris Karloff in the lead. In Cheltenham and Exeter, the lead was taken by Bransby Williams,

a celebrated actor, comedian and monologist, topping the musical bills in 1890–1930 with impersonations such as ‘The Cabman’s Railway Yarn’ or ‘The Aristocrat’ and a wide range of Dickens’ characters.

Nicholas Vlieland index of performers

University of Bristol Theatre Collection: index of performers on the London stage, 1920s and 1930s

Jill at the University of Bristol Theatre Collection very kindly searched their archives for us and found Nicholas listed for ten productions, as actor, stage manager or assistant stage manager.

Actor

1927: The Revue, White Birds, at His Majesty’s Theatre, London, which ran for 80 performances.

1927: The Heroic comedy in 5 scenes, Cyrano de Bergerac, at the Apollo Theatre, London; Nicholas played 1st Lackey and Baron d’Antignac-Juzet. The play was also broadcast on Radio 2LO London (the fledgling BBC), on 11 April 1927 and had originally opened at the Garrick Theatre, London, in March 1919, when Robert Loraine created the lead role that he reprised in the radio broadcast. He was famed as an intellectual actor, who could portray the thoughts of the character he was playing as if they were his own.

1930: The Comedy, The Command to Love, at Daly’s Theatre, later transferring to the Savoy Theatre, London; Nicholas played Don Esteban Galvez. The play had opened at the Longacre Theatre, Forty Eighth Street New York, on 7 November 1927, with Mary Nash and Basil Rathbone in the leads, and run for 247 performances.

1931: The 1-act drama, A Night at an Inn, at the Savoy Theatre; Nicholas played the 1^st Priest of Kesh.

1931: The Tragedy, Salome, at the Savoy Theatre; Nicholas played a Slave.

1935: The Play in 2 parts, The Hangman, at the Duke of York’s Theatre; Nicholas played the Young Man.

Stage manager

1929: The Exciting improbability in 3 acts, Afraid of the Dark, at the Royalty Theatre, London.

1930: The Psychic drama in 3 acts, Through the Veil, at the Duchess Theatre, London. The play’s author, Cecil Madden, was later instrumental in the birth of BBC TV.

1931: Farce with music, The Gay Princess, at the Kingsway Theatre, London.

Assistant stage manager

1929: The Fantasy, The Devil in the Cheese, at the Comedy Theatre, London. On Broadway, in 1925–6, the play had starred both Frederick March and Bela Lugosi.

This information is drawn from J.P. Wearing’s indexes of performers on the London stage: The London Stage 1920–1929: A Calendar of Plays and Players, vol. I: 1925–1929 (Metuchen, NJ and London: The Scarecrow Press, 1984); vol. II: 1930–1934 (1990); vol. III: 1935–1939 (1990).

The Gainsborough evening news and Nicholas Vlieland

The Gainsborough Evening News

Barbara has been hunting in the pages of the Gainsborough Evening News, which had a regular column on productions from the King’s Theatre, where Nicholas Vlieland was producer and then producer-manager of the repertory company in the 1940s and 1950s, staging 270 different plays.

22 July 1952: Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, starring Nicholas as Maxim De Winter

29 July 1952: Nicholas plays in An Apple a Day, a comedy by Ralph Timberlake; a cutting of 5 August has ‘Author Praises “Rep” Company’, where Timberlake enthuses about the acting standards at the King’s Theatre

19 August 1952: ‘Terrific Success of Nicholas Vlieland’s 200^th Production’, Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband; a cutting headed ‘Big Success of 200^th Production’ mentions ‘a full house and an audience that showed its appreciation’

28 April 1953: Nicholas and his company returned with Ted Willis’ No Trees in the Street, a noir piece set in the slums of London before the Second World War

November 1953: Nicholas plays Max Blacker in another Ralph Timberlake play, The Quiet Streets, again set in the morally uncertain climate of post-war Britain

15 December 1953: The professional players were given a week’s notice and the theatre temporarily closed during the run of The Tiger Lily, after Nicholas had had a breakdown following a collapse on stage

Nicholas in The Stage

Nicholas Vlieland in the pages of The Stage, 1929–55

The Stage was the premier newspaper of the performing arts, and particularly the theatre, founded as The Stage Directory – A London and Provincial Theatrical Advertiser in 1880 and published weekly as The Stage after 1881. They have kindly given Barbara the cuttings from their archives that they have on Nicholas Vlieland.

31 October 1929: Nicholas is appearing at the King’s Theatre Glasgow

12 June 1930: Nicholas is mentioned in a big piece on ‘London Theatres’

8 and 17 June 1943:  Nicholas is appearing at the Theatre Royal Nottingham, which may have been one of his bases during the war

23 July 1943: Nicholas is appearing at the Golders Green Orpheum in North London, which opened in 1930 and featured hearthrob stars such as Ronald Colman

14 July 1949: The cutting mentions the Theatrical Employers’ Registration Acts, 1925–1928, so one guesses Nicholas had infringed the law in some way

18 December 1952, King’s Theatre Gainsborough: ‘Nicholas Vlieland presents The Christmas Card, A new and seasonal comedy in three acts by Ralph Timberlake’

8 July 1954: ‘Rep Manager fined £20 [for] Insurance Offences’
