Bertie Alexander Meyer

In 1902, he worked under director Arthur Lewis at the Garrick Theatre who was putting on a series of plays with actress Gabrielle Réjane.

Following his discharge from military service in 1922,[5] he was appointed general manager of the Ambassadors Theatre, and in 1923 worked with Owen Nares to produce The Enchanted Cottage and If Winter Comes on stage.

The Cambridge Theatre in the West End, which opened on 4 September 1930, was built for Meyer by the architects Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie.

[2] In January 1932, he married the second time; the wedding to the American film actress Rosemary Ames,[6] occurred at St Martin's register office in London.

[11] However, when Meyer was approached by Christie in 1950 to produce a stage adaption of her novel The Hollow, he turned it down as he believed it would be too difficult to cast, although it has been speculated that the anti-Semitism in the novel was the primary reason.
