Ocean Waves

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

Most of this revue is rather amusing nonsense and free from the unpleasant sort of vulgarity. It starts with a vague sort of plot in the British consulate at New York, where ‘Miss Columbia’ and other actresses get passports to England and the consul tries to get rid of a woman pursuing him, but the rest of the show is simply a medley of scenes. All except the last are on board ship; a bar scene with the comic idiot of the cast taking the place of the barman; a scene of a concert with songs and sham mesmerism etc.; a scene of a sham U-Boat affair frightening the idiot and being scared off; a smoking room scene and a scene of a ‘mug’ and a 'crook’. The last scene is a railway station with various more or less familiar business it ends, however, in a comic sale of a girl’s belongings which she has had to take out of an overweight trunk, and is in accordance with precedent any exhibition of under-clothing must be cut out - last scene p.7 (slip). This however, is the only matter for objection in a harmless piece. The songs given at the end are innocent. Recommended for license. G. S. Street. Written understanding given that the auction scene will be produced exactly as licensed. I think caution is all that is necessary, the articles must not be drawers.
