We jump ahead a few years with Seymour Hicks and leave the stage world to enter the movie world with this 1913 issue of "The Cinema," another British magazine.
This issue has a few items related to the 1913 silent film "Scrooge":
These show that the title of this 1913 release was originally "Scrooge," not "Old Scrooge" as is sometimes indicated these days.
"Old Scrooge" was the 1923 reissue of the 1913 "Scrooge." I think the original 1913 cut is lost, but we're fortunate to have the reissue still around.
This rundown of the 1913 film shows it's pretty similar to the reissue cut:
The movie seemed to play well in 1913, but I think it would have seem dated by 1923.
I'm sure we'll encounter Sir Seymour again in the future, but this is the end of our little walk down memory lane for now!
