Great War Theatre

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

This is a bright little revue written, and apparently to be performed, by amateurs connected with the charitable institution (a branch of Queen Mary’s needlework guild) which supplies its subject. The piece chaffs in a most good-natured way the toils and a depot like that at 2 Cavendish square. Thus we get, either in dialogue or song, some kindly banter of the workers' duties as regarded by the technical expert, of unsuitable candidates for employment, of lady-visitors making impossible demands, or giving impracticable orders with regards to patterns, garments etc, and of the trials of matrons and secretaries with VAD girls who after a 'full training' of three weeks expect to be placed in charge of war-hospitals. Capitally suited in tone and detail to the furtherance of its benevolent object: and recommended for license, Ernest A. Bendall
