James Agate James Evershed Agate (9 September 1877 – 6 June 1947) was an English diarist and one of Britain's most influential theatre critics between the two world wars. He found his way into journalism in his late twenties, on the staff of "The Manchester Guardian" (1907–14) and as a drama critic for "The Saturday Review" (1921–23), and "The Sunday Times" (1923–47). He also reviewed drama for the BBC (1925–32). The nine volumes of Agate's diaries and letters, entitled "Ego", record the British theatre of his era and his non-theatrical interests, including sports, social gossip and his private preoccupations with his health and precarious finances. He also wrote film and literary criticism for London newspapers, published three novels, translated a play that was staged in London, albeit briefly, and regularly brought out collections of his theatre essays and reviews.

Advice column An advice column is a column traditionally presented in a magazine or newspaper, though it can also be delivered through other news media, such as the internet and broadcast news media. The advice column format is question and answer: a (usually anonymous) reader writes to the media outlet with a problem in the form of a question, and the media outlet provides an answer or response. The responses are written by an advice columnist (colloquially known in British English as an agony aunt, or agony uncle if the columnist is male). The image presented was originally of an older woman dispensing comforting advice and maternal wisdom, hence the name "aunt". An advice columnist can also be someone who gives advice to people who send in problems to the newspaper.

Her Majesty's Theatre Her Majesty's Theatre is a West End theatre situated on Haymarket in the City of Westminster, London. The present building was designed by Charles J. Phipps and was constructed in 1897 for actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who established the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the theatre.

M. Synge, Noël Coward and J. B. Priestley. Since the First World War, the wide stage has made the theatre suitable for large-scale musical productions, and the theatre has specialised in hosting musicals. The theatre has been home to record-setting musical theatre runs, notably the First World War sensation "Chu Chin Chow" and the current production, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera", which has played continuously at Her Majesty's since 1986.
