Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This is a very slight and sketchy little musical play of the Revue order. It opens at a training school for girls, where nothing much happens except the engagement of a comic man as the new attendant for the young ladies, and the flight of one of them from a lover whom her father disapproves, but whom she promises to marry if he can catch her within three days. In the course of her flight, which is followed by that of the comic man and the lover the heroine figures in a Naval Lieutenant's uniform, and also in a Naval Review, the fragmentary story winding up in some Hotel Gardens where the father at length gives his consent to his daughter's marriage. No harm is suggested by any of the prescribed business, nor by any of the silly dialogue, which is mainly of the 'cross-talk' variety. Recommended for License. Ernest A. Bendall
