Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This is a fair example of the better sort of revue, as it is understood in this country; a vague plot which doesn't really matter, a great deal of more or less funny dialogue, songs and dances and a scene or two in which the aim is the bizarre and beautiful.  it ought to be quite an inoffensive show [...]

Researcher's Summary:

The music for this revue was written by Ivor Novello, Philip Braham and Willy Redstone, amongst others. It included a front-line sketch performed by John Humphries as a 'Bairnsfather Tommy'.
