Palace Theatre, Redditch

‘Mr. and Mrs. Percy Brown are presenting Remember Belgium, in eight scenes [at the Palace, Redditch]. As the title infers, the piece is composed of episodes of the present war. The characters are well placed. Mr. A. L. Read is an effective Col. Featherstone. John Grant is portrayed in manly fashion by Mr. Arthur Lowrey. Mr. Percy Brown makes the most of the unthankful part of FitzSeigenback [sic], a German spy. Mrs. Featherstone is well played by Miss Gipsy Alexandra [sic – Alexander]. Miss Vida Haslewood gives a sympathetic rendering of Marie. The lighter side is safe in the hands of Miss Lelia Drummond and Mr. Wallie Ives as Mrs. Cackles and Kelly Cackles’. The Stage, 20 May 1915.
