Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This is a sketchy revue with only a vestige of story, the whole of which is virtually confined to the first scene. This is laid at a cabaret whither there betake themselves for distraction and engaged couple who have run away from one another at the church door. The runaway husband gets the comic waiter to hide him, and the runaway wife is consoled by the cabaret King, who figures with her casually in an eastern scene and also in a rose garden. Nothing in the least dramatic comes out of it: but the dialogue and songs are full of topical jokes at the expense of conscientious objectors and so forth, most of them vulgar and common, but none calculated to give serious offence. The feeble nonsense is recommended for Licence Ernest A. Bendall.
