-: According to [[D.C. Boonzaier]]'s reminiscences (1923), ''[[The Man from Blankley's]]'' was performed by the [[Sass and Nelson Company]] in the [[Opera House]], Cape Town, as part of a season of plays that commenced on 11 May. How accurate Boonzaier's memory of the date is in this case, where he is actually discussing [[Edward Sass]]'s marvellous direction of the mise en scene in various plays, is a little unsure, since Sass actually spent quite a while in South Africa. On the other hand this '''may''' have been Sass and Nelson's own adaptation of the original sketch, which had been written in dramatic form, and performed '''before''' the more famous London production by Hawtrey.
