This page containing several programs from the 1975 season at Stratford is one of the busiest throughout the scrapbook. Ms. Kelly had by this point become an efficient scrapbooker in terms of space conservation and was attending so many plays that this efficiency was necessary if she wanted a new scrapbook to last more than a year. From the seventies onward crowded pages such as this become much more commonplace in her scrapbooks.

Under the headline of the unfavourable review on the bottom left side of this page Ada has written “I don’t agree”. After so many years of theatre going it seems she considered herself a great enough authority to jot down her own opinions alongside the critics. In the later scrapbooks, comments such as these are found sporadically.
