Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

An amusing interview between an official of the military and naval aid associating and a garrulous applicant for relief, whose husband, a costermonger, has enlisted and left her with no money to pay the rent. Although she does not know the name of her husband's regiment and seems unable to substantiate her claim the money needed is given to her, whereupon she redeems her doubtful character by her generosity in handing the whole sum over for the benefit of the Belgian refugees who, she is told, are even worse off than she is herself. Recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
