'[This] is the principal attraction at the Pavilion this week. The sketch is just what will tend to stimulate recruiting, and Mr Bertram Wallis portrays the character of recruiting sergeant excellently. Mr Wallis has received thanks from the Army for the splendid results his patriotic sketch has had in London' (Daily Record, 24 November 1914)
