Happy Go Lucky
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
This revue consists of half a dozen burlesque episodes unconnected by any thread [sic] of plot. No 1. Illustrates an election contest for a provincial town council between a male and female candidate, the former of whom is much interrupted in his address by a persistent banana seller. No 2 shows a quarrel between a men who comes home very drunk to find his indignant spouse sitting up for him ready to watch his blunderings as he goes to bed. No 3 deals with the comic ill treatment of passengers by a truculent railway porter; and in No 4 a half tipsy man bets a quite tipsy one that he can’t speak of without alluding to the war. No 5 shows how a fashionable actress presses into her service for a reception her boisterous father, and Irish farmer who commits himself in amiably officiating as substitute for a missing butler. The piece winds up with the tours of a cook house as run behind the trenches in France by an incompetent cook-sergeant. If there is not much wit in the dialogue or songs there is no hint of offence: so the piece is recommended for Licence.
