Here and There

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This is a revue consisting of some half-dozen wholly disconnected scenes of rather pointless pantomimic burlesque. One of them is devoted to the post office and the eccentrics of the official’s in the telephone and other departments. Then comes the attempted sealing of a performing dog by a comic professor, very fond of promiscuous flirtation; and this is followed by some attempted frauds upon a bumptious Greenhorn just arrived in London from Widnes. There is the usual burlesque restaurant episode, leading up to a bewildering scene of suspicion and jealousy between a couple of business-partner, each of whom has secretly married and has concealed his bride in his private room at the office. The burlesque duet which ends this misunderstanding is followed by some cross-talk about nothing in particular; and the fun such as it is, concludes with some farcical business for a general who is hoodwinked by a spy posing as a courier. There is no wit and very little point in any of the nonsense, or in the ditties introduced into it. But there is no offensive; so the rubbish is recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
