Assuming that the cast of 'Other People's Worries' has remained unchanged since Aberdeen, the part of Lady Conroy was played by Teresa Osbourne. The two gentlemen here seem to be Richard Faber and Sydney Compton, whose performance was reckoned to be one of the best in the play.

The character of Lady Conway was played by Miss Teresa Osborne and that of Bromley Dalmore, 'topical vocalist' by Reginald Faber who was also the producer of this production (in arrangement with the famous theatre producer Leon Lion who had staged the original show in London).
