The amateur drama club of Shimla (or Simla), "summer capital" of British India, was founded in 1838. From 1887 it was housed at the Gaiety Theater. The Club gradually developed as an institution with the aim of both promoting the theater and as a place of socialization for military officers, good British society and a number of Indians. Among its members the famous writer Rudyard Kipling; the founder of the Boy Scout movement: R Baden-Powell, the Kendalls, great dynasty of actors and some important families like the Strachey and the McQuaid. Frances McQuaid is here represented in the costume of "Dorothy", heroine of an unidentified play whose representation took place in 1902.
