The Blue Mouse adapted by Roy Horniman

The Blue Mouse adapted by Roy Horniman from the German of Alexander Engel and Julian Horst. First produced in Brighton, 27th April and at the Criterion 12th May 1914. Because his boss promotes staff with pretty wives, the hero gets the dancer known as "the blue mouse" to pose as his wife. Much of the farce derives from the confusion between the wife and the blue mouse. For the Criterion. Photos in the programme indicate that the human figures are from left to right, Madge Lessing as Kitty Vernon ("the blue mouse"), Eric Lewis as Sir Henry Dowse (the boss) and Percy Hutchison as the ambitious George Barker
