Hello Liverpool

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

[...] ''Or any other town' is added to the title and it is understood that the name is used of whatever town the revue is being played in. The first part is meant to be extremely local, with the names of local streets, prominent characters, etc. used according to the locality. Mr Bottom also figures. It is an elaborate revue with (probably) rich scenic effects and so far as I can see it has no salacious appeal about it. The plot, however, is old I think I have read it more than once in a revue. A 'nut' gives a taxi-cabman a lottery ticket in mistake for his own card and the number wins. The winner has to go to various places to report himself and he starts off pursued by the nut and his friends. Various disguises and dodges are resorted to a dafter going to Paris with a ball, Madrid with a bull-fight, and Petrograd, the characters all assemble in the 'Futurist Club' and the lottery business is satisfactorily arranged. There is nothing offensive in the way in which the different countries are pictured and the fun, such as it is, is harmless throughout. I notice a few small points however. P. 17. A 'water' public houses, called 'the king's head’. Not meant disrespectfully, but possibly may be thought worth noticing. p.55 'Luby... comes down stage right between Jenn's legs'. .probably not an indent intention, but one has to be careful; I suggest a caution. P.69 girl dressed as English soldier. I mention it to be on the safe side about the uniform, but this has been allowed. The songs are not given and must be sent for approval if new.
