A friend's post on Facebook about Alfred Hitchcock's film of Juno and The Paycock (1930) prompted me to look up coverage in the Evening Herald.
After a preview in January 1930, attended by a panel including clergy, it opened in July 1930.

One of the more intriguing offers from Bonnie Prince Billy this evening during his splendid show at the Pavilion.
Garefowl's support set, a 40 minute piece inspired by the sounds of St Kilda, was a lovely opener. – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
