More of the cast of 'Other People's Worries'. Gladys Miller was photographed in 'The Sunday Post' in 1926. Frank McRae had been with the company at Boston, Lincs (my earlier contribution refers). The figure on the right is Yourke Challoner. An excellent write-up of the play appeared in the 'Aberdeen Journal' on Tuesday 13 February, 1923.
