 ON THE THEATRICAL ORIGIN OF THE EXPRESSION "GREEN ROOM"
GEORGE B. A common feature of theatres and even television studios throughout the Anglophone world is the green room, defined as "a room in a theatre provided for the accommodation of actors and actresses when not required on the stage.
If they were, one may hazard a guess that the choice of the color green may be related to the livery worn by members of one of the professional companies that after 1572 were required by law to be patronized by members of the nobility.
Actors, therefore, on special occasions wore the liveries, identifiable primarily by color, of the Lord Chamberlain (George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon), the Lord Admiral (Lord Charles Howard), the Earl of Leicester (Robert Dudley), the Earl of Derby (Ferdinando Stanley), the Earl of Pembroke (William Herbert), and others.

 Articles - Ramsay MacDonald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
At the 1923 election the Conservatives lost their majority, and when they lost a vote of confidence in the House in January 1924 King George V called on MacDonald to form a minority Labour government, with the tacit support of the Liberals under Asquith from the corner benches.
Baldwin formed a strong majority Conservative government, but it was racked by crisis throughout its term, particularly the General Strike of 1926 and the sharply deteriorating economic situation, marked by a rapid rise in unemployment.
This was the largest mandate ever won by a British Prime Minister at a democratic election, but it left MacDonald a prisoner of the Conservatives, as was shown after the election when Neville Chamberlain became Chancellor and Baldwin, as Lord President, the real power in the government.
