1911年11月26日晚，伦敦剧院的大多数领导成员聚集在萨沃伊酒店参加一个宴会--纪念乔治爱德华兹的“禧年”，他是三家伦敦西区剧院的承租人/经理：欢乐剧院、戴利剧院和最近的阿德尔菲剧院。音乐喜剧曾风靡爱德华七世时代，在这三家剧院都占据着至高无上的地位。近200人，“代表舞台的最高和最好的传统”，挤满了餐厅：“经理，演员经理，演员，剧作家，评论家和著名的剧院赞助人”。圣詹姆斯剧院的乔治亚历山大爵士担任副主席。
On the evening of 26 November 1911 most of the leading members of the London theatre establishment gathered at the Savoy Hotel for a banquet — a ‘Jubilee’ to honour George Edwardes, the lessee/manager of three West End theatres: the Gaiety, Daly’s and, most recently, the Adelphi. Musical comedies, which had charmed the Edwardian age, reigned supreme at all three theatres. Close to two hundred people, ‘representing the highest and best traditions of the stage’, packed the dining room: ‘managers, actor-managers, actors, dramatists, critics, and famous theatre patrons’.1 The chairman for the event was Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree of His Majesty’s Theatre. Sir George Alexander of St James’s Theatre served as the vice-chairman.
