Title page from the theatre programme for a production of "The Geisha" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in September 1919.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "The Geisha" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights from Monday 22nd September to Saturday 27th September 1919. The Japanese musical comedy was written by Owen Hall with music by Sidney Jones. The KAODS production was produced by Edwin Bryan, with musical director Joseph Harker.
This was only the second production staged by the Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, following their debut with "Haddon Hall" in 1914. The outbreak of the First World War meant further productions were put on hold for over five years.
The story is set in a Japanese Tea House run by Chinaman Wun-Hi (played by Ernest Marsden). A troupe of Geisha are attached to the Tea House, including the celebrated O Mimosa San (Mabel Rothera). A party of English sailors from H. M. S. 'The Turtle' and English ladies from the yacht of Lady Constance Wynne (Gladys Broster) visit the Tea House. Officer Reginald Fairfax (Harry Shackleton) falls for the charms of Mimosa, despite being engaged to Molly Seamore (Ethel Bird). But Provincial Governor Marquis Imari (W. Bruce Johnston) also has his heart set on Mimosa and threatens to close down the Tea House and auction off the geisha. When this is carried out Lady Constance wins the bidding for Mimosa but Molly has disguised herself as a geisha and ends up being bought by the Marquis. Later at the Marquis' Palace, his wedding to Molly is about to take place when Lady Constance, Reginald and others from the English party arrive and set about sorting out the confusion. Reginald and Molly are reunited, the Marquis ends up with Tea House interpreter Juliette (Annie Battle), and Mimosa ends up with her intended, Captain Katana (Arthur G. Ramsden).
The show also starred Mary Stell, Marion Holmes, Maud Holmes, Agnes Battle, Doris Capper, Annie Watson, Nancy Wilkinson, Florence McDonnell, J. Louis Midgley, Harry Ambler, Dick Bird, Norah B. Holmes, and Frank Shuttleworth.
The Keighley News of Saturday 27th September 1919 reviewed the production: "A word of commendation is due to the members of the Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society on the way in which they took in hand the task of reorganising their affairs and on the thoroughness with which the work was done to enable 'The Geisha' to be presented at the Keighley Hippodrome this week... The selection of 'The Geisha' proved a happy one. Light and catchy music, opportunities for dainty and vivacious acting by the ladies, and a breezy, nautical touch - all in keeping with present-day demand - are the characteristics of this popular comic opera."
"Evidence of excellent support was forthcoming immediately the booking of seats commenced, and it was obvious at an early date that the financial success of the affair was assured. It was therefore with extreme gratification that the committee were able to announce at the close of Monday night's performance that they had achieved a first night record and that in view of the initial success a performance would be given the Saturday afternoon in addition to those announced for each evening of the week."

Page from the programme for musical play "Rio Rita", performed by Keighley Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society at the Hippodrome theatre in Keighley between 20th and 25th October 1947. The music was by Harry Tierney, with words by Joseph McCarthy, from the book by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson. The original 1927 stage musical was turned into a RKO film in 1929, directed by Luther Reed.
The story is set on the US/Mexico border, where cabaret singer Rita Ferguson falls for Texas Ranger Captain Jim Stewart, while pursued by Mexican General Esteban. Meanwhile, Captain Stewart is seeking the notorious bandit Kinkajou, whose real identity is unknown (but could be Rita's brother Roberto!). The climax is reached onboard the pirate barge owned by Esteban, which serves as a floating cabaret...
The Keighley production starred Hylda Saville Smith as Rio Rita, Arthur Day as Captain Jim Stewart, Eric B. Boster as General Esteban, and Fred W. Pye as Roberto. Supporting roles were played by Albert E. Shepherd, Arthur Shackleton, Ernest Marsden, Dorothy M. Williams, Betty Phillips, Keith Marsden, John H. Crabtree, Pamela Fitzjohn, Victor J. Wood, Frank Hopkinson, Margaret Best and Marjorie Riley. It was produced by T. C. Wray.
The 48-page programme measures approximately 183 mm by 248 mm. It contains details of the production, with cast photographs taken by John Tobin of Keighley, and many adverts for local businesses. It was printed by The Keighley Printers Ltd. of High Street.

The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.
