Theophilus Charlton was an actor and playwright, responsible for 'Dora Stays the Night' (a farce, 1919), 'Under Promise of Marriage' (1920). 'The Cat's-Paw' ('when "The Yard" sleeps it is ready to spring", 1923) and 'Double or Quit! (1924). He married a Sheila Ross at St George Hanover Square in the first quarter of 1923. Could they possibly have been on their honeymoon when their silhouettes were made?
