Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

A wild burlesque of the husband-wife-lover business. It begins seriously with a scene between the wife and her maid, so that the audience might be taken in, till the lover arrives in the person of a joint-cracking old man with a long white beard. When the husband comes, he is a boy in an Eton jacket. The dialogue is merely absurd, mock heroic, and farcical. The only point is the disappearance during the war of average-aged males. The only line that might be queried is the last: 'now I shall never know which of the twins is mine': but in an absurdity I think to would be prudish to forbid it. Recommended for license. G. S. Street
