Postcard from 1924 with Christmas message from CB Fountaine, manager of Theatre Royal & Empire

What's the story?

Postcard from 1924 with Christmas message from CB Fountaine, the manager of both the Theatre Royal and the Empire.
Was this sent out to staff, local businesses, audiences?
There doesn't seem to be too much information available about Fountaine. However, the term 'Guid New Year' suggests a strong Scottish connection.
The top right corner features a quote from American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 1803 to April 1882):
"Life is not so short but there is always time for courtesy"
