Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This is an amateurism imitation of the typical revue of the day, with its spotlessness, its inconsequence and its characteristic vulgarity of time in most of its humour. It begins with some of the customary chaff of the Lord Chamberlain and his ‘censor’, who will probably be left cold by the implied condemnation of their methods. For the benefit of the latter official the artistes are summoned for an inspection before their dress-rehearsal, for which fortunately they prove to be attired in evening-dress. For no particular reason the action next passes to a model laundry with various tasteless jokes about garments to be washed. We then pass on to a brightly parade for returned soldiers and their lasses, who indulge in French a la ollendorf; and finally, to Piccadilly Circus, where some swells, civilian and military, meet to flirt with flower-girls and lady taxi-drivers and to describe doings in the trenches. There is no harm in most of the vulgar nonsense; but in the laundry-scene there is a passage (p.6 as marked) about the finding of a tooth brush and a wedding-ring in the pyjama pocket of a week-ending gentleman which is sufficiently suggestive to call for elision. One or two similar blossoms of bad taste have, I am glad to see, already been 'cut by producer' recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
