Fun And Beauty

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

An average revue, altogether disconnected. In the first scene the principal business is the following joke: a man puts a piece of strong-smelling cheese in his rival’s coat with the result that everybody sniffs everybody else and the rival’s girl faints in his embrace. Not a pretty joke, but merely vulgar. There is a special constable scene, with a male and female special trying different methods on offenders - harmless. Another scene consists of tableaux illustrating well known songs. In another a sailor mistakes a cinematograph rehearsal for the real thing and goes for the villain. Other ‘specialities’ are stated to have been already license for the Comedy theatre. one scene ‘toasting the allies’ in which some men go on toasting the allies until they are tipsy is a very pointless piece of vulgarity, but can hardly be cut out. I have marked a rather suggestive line in scene 1p.9 but I think it is not worth cutting out and the rest of the dialogue is harmless, though vulgar. The songs are given and are inoffensive. Recommended for license. G. S. Street
