'There’s a ring of more than ordinary distinction about the programme at the Brighton Hippodrome next week ... the famous actress, Nina Boucicault, is entitled to rank of equal importance, particularly as her first appearance at the Hippodrome next week will be made in that pretty little playlet called “When the Clock Strikes Nine,” which recently delighted London with its Barrie-like mixture' (Sussex Daily News, 4 August 1917). 'The Bank Holiday programme at the Brighton Hippodrome was, as usual, of the most enticing description, and packed "houses" accorded it an enthusiastic reception. A new playlet by Seymour Obermer, "When the Clock Strikes Nine," with Miss Nina Boucicault playing the principal part, was a sufficient attraction in itself to the crowds of pleasure-seekers who filled the town, and it was of a character entirely suited to the audience. Miss Nina Boucicault’s rich vein of humour in the character of Mrs. Lane, the elderly widow, whose son Tom (Tom M. Lloyd) is at the front, and her delicious repartee and perfect acquaintance with the language of our “Tommies” were keenly appreciated. Miss Anne Godfrey and Mr. Hubert Willis were her other gifted colleagues' (Sussex Daily News, 7 August 1917).
