Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

Very simple fooling. The scene is a farmyard. A nigger looks over the wall and his hat is blown into the yard. After an encounter with a dog the nigger tries to steal a chicken and is worsted in combat, presumably with a trick chicken. All this is accompanied by remarks from the nigger. Then a girl appears and it appearing that the nigger has brought her a letter from a gymnasium, both - and the chicken too - do tricks and dances. Recommended for Licence. G. S. Street
