	In 1919 Annie Laidler died. Francis Laidler was 42 years old and a widower. That same year while searching out new talent for his pantomimes he saw the 23-year-old Gladys Cotterill in a pierrot show. Although she had only been in the theatre for a few weeks professionally, the recently divorced Gladys Stanley was engaged by Laidler to play second boy in “Aladdin” at his Leeds Theatre Royal. Gladys was later to remark “Little did I think when I was saying my first few lines on the stage of the Theatre Royal, that I would one day own that theatre….” (a google search of Frances Laidler has above article) Chris :)
