Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

[...] Unambitious and ignorantly written piece [...] irascible old gent [...] wife, a 'knit' for a son and a couple of coloured servants [...] Their dialogue is of the cross-talk order, and their doings seem to have no dramatic motive. Both however are as harmless as they are foolish [...] Their chief object [...] the stringing together of a series of ditties, dances and nigger impersonations [...] If any new [songs] are to be introduced they should be forwarded for consideration. Recommended for Licence Ernest A. Bendall. Songs forwarded and approved EAB 9/2/17
