To Arms!
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
Some Belgian refugees, fleeing from the brutalities of the German army, fall asleep from fatigue on the plain of Waterloo. The spirits of Wellington appear and converse, then the shade of Napoleon speaks at length to the effect that once again England has to fight for freedom against the ambition of one man, that once more she is 'criminally unprepared' but that once more, fighting for the good cause, she will win. It seems to be entirely unobjectionable and is Recommended for license. G. S. Street
