The "Q" Theatre Guild was formed out of the Kew Light Opera Company in 1957. It marked the transition of the company that had initially been directed by Lance Nicholls to one directed by Beatrice Oakley. It continued to perform in the Kew Recreation Hall, but, with its demolition in 1960, and the opening of the new Kew City Hall in Cotham Road, moved its productions to that venue. Productions of the "Q" Theatre Guild included The Geisha (1957), Maritana (1958), They All Do It (1959), Blossom Time (1959), Love's A Luxury (1959), There And Back & The Bohemian Girl (1960), Die Fledermaus (1960), Gay Rosalinda (1961), The Land Of Smiles (1961), Kisses For A Kid & Hansel And Gretel (1961), Die Fledermaus (1962), Monsieur Beaucaire (1964), Macbeath or The Beggar's Opera, and So To Bed.The scrapbook of annotated photographs, programmes, and newspaper reviews of which this item is a part was assembled by Marion Tilley, wardrobe mistress for, and performer in, productions by the Kew Light Opera Company and the "Q" Theatre Guild. It is significant as a remarkably complete document of theatre performances in Kew, Victoria during the 1950s and 1960s. The scrapbook, and the items individually catalogued within it, have artistic and aesthetic significance within the history of performing arts in Victoria in the middle of the 20th Century. They have social significance in that they reveal socio-cultural values and preoccupations during the period. The records also act as a history of arts activities in the Kew Recreation Hall and later in the Kew City Hall as entertainment and community arts and music precincts.Souvenir programme issued by the "Q" Theatre Guild for a performance of Franz Lehar's The Land of Smiles in 1961. The production was performed at the Kew City Hall. The Cast List includes annotations by Marion Tilley. This was the first time that The Land of Smiles had been performed in Melbourne."q" theatre guild, performimng arts, kew city hall, the land of smiles (lehar)

Granny Davis Carries on as usual "I'm everybody's granny," says Mrs Myrtle Woods with a smile, and there is much truth in what she says. Myrtle is 95 and her vision is severely impaired due to cataracts. But her personality is in no way impaired. She sparkles, as Margaret Humphrey, welfare officer, working from Kooyong, will attest. Back in the 70s she was, indeed, the best known Granny in Victoria. Remember Granny Davis of bread fame? Granny Davis who smiled from scores of hoardings and advertisements; who handed out samples of her product at supermarkets and exchanged pleasantries with Graeme Kennedy on television twice a week. Mrs Myrtle was an actor when she was chosen for the Granny Davis role. She is still an actor, picking up cameo parts. "They send for me whenever they want a funny old lady." Her most recent part has been at the Kooyong day centre of the Association. The role? (Wait for it.) Little Red Riding Hood - not Granny. "Not your regular little Red Riding Hood either," she says with a smile in which twinkles just a hint of sauciness.1 colour photograph of Myrtle WoodsAttached to the back of the image: Granny Davis Carries on as usual "I'm everybody's granny," says Mrs Myrtle Woods with a smile, and there is much truth in what she says.
