Talk:Charles Groves (actor)

1909 School for Scandal
The Who Was Who in the D'Oyly Carte site is normally reliable and authoritative, but I question whether it is right to say that Groves appeared in Tree's 1909 School for Scandal. There is no mention of Tree's production in the obituaries of Groves in the press archives. Groves had played Sir Oliver Surface at the St James's in 1907 (making him "an outstanding figure in the comedy", according to The Evening Standard) but this was the cast for Tree's 1909 production as recorded in The Times: I think it significant that I can find no mention whatever of Groves's appearing in Tree's 1909 production in any of the reviews or obituaries available through Newspapers.com or the British Newspaper Archive. –  Tim riley  talk   08:35, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
