Mary's Wedding was first produced at the Coronet Theatre, in May, 1912, with the following cast:

Mary Miss Irene Rooke

Ann Miss Mary Goulden

Mrs. Airey Miss Muriel Pratt

Bill Airey Mr. Charles Bibby

Two Maids.

Villagers and Others.

Scene: The Davis's Cottage.

Note: There is no attempt made in the play to reproduce exactly the Westmoreland dialect, which would be unintelligible to ears coming new to it, but only to catch the rough music of it and the slow inflection of northern voices.
