The Players stick to the popular format of short plays. These must have been particularly short, since the matinee performance didn't start until 4pm, leaving only 3 hours before the commencement of the evening show.

For the first time, the programme includes the contact details of the Secretary (along with an invitation to join in membership).The Secretary is listed as Miss Wilkins of "Beverley", Fairlight Cove. Aubrey Sinden confirms that this is Patricia Wilkins, who has featured in the cast on a number of occasions. A Mrs. Wilkins, possibly her mother, is also listed in the programme in relation to help with costumes.
