Hampshire Telegraph: Friday 14th February 1936

“Sixteen,” the successful play written by Aimee and Philip Stuart, was presented by Miss More Bremner and the 33 Company on the second evening of their three-day occupation of the South Parade Pier on Friday night. The play has a remarkably unusual theme dealing with the complex worship of a young girl for her dead father and her almost tragic distaste for her widowed mother’s second marriage. … (continues) … Miss Molly Way played intelligently and sympathetically as the sensitive young girl and was chiefly responsible for bringing the play to its properly tense climax. Miss Ruth Jeffrey was the irresponsible Baba, and Mr. G. B. Balfour as the doctor provided probably the best character studies but Mrs. Dorothy Way was the young widow. Miss Joan Pinsent who, despite her youth, made a convincing grandmother; Miss Aileen Wyllie as the housekeeper; and Mr. Denys Fillinghham-Williams as the hearty suitor, all added their valuable quota to a production in which teamwork led to success.
