I think the show mentioned on 18th August is "Colleen Bawn" - although I couldn't find any information linking "Colleen Bawn" as a play or film to the Queen's Theatre in August 1919.
There was a play "The Colleen Bawn" by Dion Boucicault from Dublin, written in the 1860s, and also a film "Willy Reilly and His Colleen Bawn" - but this was not released until 1920.
