Beth Britten et al. in Lowestoft - 26 April, 1933, 07:30 PM
from Journeying boy : the diaries of the young Benjamin Britten 1928-1938, page 139:
Beth & I go to Marine at 7.30 to see the Amateurs do 'Chu Chin Chow'.* Quite a good show for amateurs, & the costumes & scenary were very lavish. Total lack of voices & of much art of acting spoils it. Gladys Mumford is an exception, however.
