Allies
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
A crude little melodramatic sketch of the manner in which a secret despatch is got from Liege to Namur by a Belgian girl, on behalf of her wounded English lover, in spite of the dastardly efforts of his rival, a typical Prussian spy, who happily ends by being shot. Conventionally effective for the moment: and Recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
