Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

A 'revue' or musical farce, having for its scrappy plot the imposition of the comic hero, who steals the credentials of a food inspector and takes advantage of his opportunity for burlesque searches. Amongst his victims are a widow who niece's hand [sic] he demands as blackmail, much to the indignation of her sweetheart. There is a good deal of eccentric shopping with the fraudulent inspector posing as a shop man: there is much rather aimless cross-talk, and there are some songs the words of which must be forwarded for consideration. There is no harm in the nonsense which is recommended for License. Ernest A. Bendall. The songs are stated to be published, except one which is just in and and may be passed. GSS.
