Those Who Wait
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
A simple and moving little sketch of the great day in the lives of a loyal old Welsh collier and his wife, who finds the telegram in which they fear news of their soldier-son's wounding or death, announcing his award of the V.C. and conveying their invitation to Buckingham palace for the investiture. The piece is full of pretty homely touches: and its references to the King's kindliness and tis appreciation by his humbler subjects are marked by perfect taste and sincere feeling. Recommended for licence. Ernest A. Bendall.
