Rehearsing a Revue

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

A piece of romping nonsense illustrating a rough-and-ready revue-rehearsal in which everything goes wrong and everyone quarrels with everyone else, more especially with the unhappy producer. The electrician has been called up on military service, and in consequence of the principal comedians having thrown up their parts the stage carpenter and property man have to be pressed into duties not their own. The fun, technical and otherwise, is harmless; but I do not like the business p.p-18 of the choice of shapely girls for a ‘schoolgirl’s bedroom scene’ by the stage-manager, who orders the ladies to ‘stand near the cloth and raise your dresses to the knee’. This though not actually indecent, should I think be omitted, as indelicately suggestive. Recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
