Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This piece, defined as a ‘musical farce-revue’ opens its aimless action among the flower-sellers at Piccadilly Circus, continues it in a base hospital somewhere in France, and ends it at Victoria station with the arrival of a troop-train from the front. Such story as it has turns upon the search for a lost ‘baby bunting’ with a strawberry mark at the back of her neck; but the plot is soon lost in the chaff, more or less humorous and quite inoffensive, in which all the dramatis personae, flower-sellers, soldiers, loafers, and nurses so copiously indulge. ‘Hull baby’ is thus a chaotic affair, which must depend for success chiefly upon the high spirits of the performers and the tunefulness of the musical illustrations. Recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
