††LeslieHoward.net - Theatre shows Howard with dual roles but the author does not carry over this information to her newer website Inafferrabile Leslie Howard, Theatre - Kitty Breaks Loose, so it may have been an error on the older site. The Athenaeum is the only paper to mention any role and it is "Mister Wilson." Wearing also shows Howard's role as "Jack Wilson."
