A Bit O Khaki
Examiner of Plays' Summary:
A patriotic little play with songs. Mr Fleming objects to his daughter’s engagement, Jack, when the latter turns up in khaki, but when Jack has sung a patriotic song and Norah has appeared in the uniform of a girl guide, he joins the special constabulary and they sing a patriotic trio. A political remark or two on pp.2 and 3 seem harmless. The thing is very well meant in its simple way and is Recommended for license. G. S. Street.
