In non business hours we were both active as members with the Toronto T.S. in various capacities and kept up our association with the dramatic. We were strolling players who visited hospitals, nursing and retirement homes – even a women's prison - to provide some entertainment and laughter. Every Easter we performed a play at the Toronto T.S. with a Theosophical theme and it was a pleasure to work in such a lovely auditorium with its fine acoustics that had seen so many well known Theosophical speakers on its platform over the years.<ref>Doris Davy, "Life with Ted" ''Keeping the Link Unbroken'' (Theosophical Research Monographs, 2004), vii.</ref>		It was then back to our individual business careers in the city.
