The Land of Smiles
In 1931–32, Grossmith was appointed managing director of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, producing "The Land of Smiles" and "Cavalcade", but he resigned in 1932 to devote himself to cinema. In the 1930s, Grossmith appeared in (and wrote the screenplay, in two cases, for) a number of films. In 1933, he played Touchstone in a production of "As You Like It" in the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park. Also in 1933, he wrote a memoir called "G. G." The following year, he played Horner in "The Country Wife" at the Ambassadors Theatre.
