Westminster Gazette: Thursday 8th July 1920

Baldwins: The seventeenth annual ordinary general meeting of the members of Baldwins Limited was held yesterday, the chairman (Colonel Sir John Roper Wright, Bart.) presiding. The Chairman said:  Your board much regret the delay in presenting the accounts of the year ending June 30, 1919, which has been due to the difficulties in connection with excess profits and the pressure on our professional valuers. … (continues) … The Chairman then dwelt at some length with the offer made to shareholders by Messrs. Sperling. In reply to questions, Mr. Pinsent, the solicitor for the company, stated that neither he nor anyone else connected with negotiations from the early date in February to the end ever regarded Sperlings as other than principals … (continues) …

Westminster Gazette: Wednesday 12th April 1916

The Academy of Dramatic Art: The annual public performance of the students of the Academy of Dramatic Art took place yesterday afternoon at the New Theatre and it was notably for the fact that the places were, with one exception feminine; so, the gentlemen who are usually learning to be actors are obviously doing their duties elsewhere. … (discussion of the event) … and among the other players during the afternoon may be mentioned the Tilda of Miss Maisie Horne, the Portia of Miss Amy Rean, and two special dancers, Miss Sybil Fage, and Miss Phyllis Pinsent. It was a very successful afternoon and proved that, though useful, man is by no means essential on these occasions.

Steinway Hall: The number of composers whose music is strong enough to justify a one-man concert is strictly limited and Mr. Isidore de Lara would doubtless be one of the first to agree that he is emphatically not of the number. … … Hence there is no need to consider into critical a spirit the music hear at the Steinway Hall yesterday afternoon when the programme was devoted exclusively to Mr. de Lara’s compositions – the concert being given, of course, in connection with the War Emergency Campaign, which has owed so much to the composer’s vigorous initiative. … …  In addition to Mr. de Lara himself, Miss Ethel Hook, Miss Nettle Edwards, the Duchesse Orentsia di Mignano, M. Maurice Dambios, Mr. Bertam Binyon, and various other ladies and gentlemen contributed to the programme yesterday, while there was also a dance by Miss Phyllis Pinsent.

… Privately business has been a little better, but not much. The Wergs Hall estate of 700 acres, near Wolverhampton, which failed to change hands last autumn, has now been sold to Sir Alfred Hickman, Bart., by Messrs. Barnett and Son, and the old house, Burton Pynsent, near Landport, Somerset, with 250 acres, has been placed by Messrs. Nicholas Denver and Co. Once Lord Chatham lived on and owned this latter estate. In a corner of its grounds still stands a monument erected by him and commemorating a former owner, Sir William Pynsent, from whom he derived the property. …
