Queen's Theatre, London

The only performance of the play was as part of an 'all-sketch matinee' organised by J. T. Grein in aid of interned sailors, soldier and airmen in Holland. It was the highlight of the matinee and performed by Ernest Milton, Frank Ridley and Rowena Jerome.

This performance took place as part of a charity matinee in aid of the Bulldog and Britannia Clubs which provided free beds and meals for soldiers and sailors. The Princess Royal, Queen Amelie and Princess Maud attended. A reviewer in the Daily Mirror the following day commented on the large size of the programmes sold.
