22 Feb 1915 | Three Little Britons | Professional |
Read Narrative
‘The fare at the Junction Theatre, Hulme, next week is very topical, the management producing “Three Little Britons,” a fine military drama in fourteen scenes. The plot of this story … is wrapped round the spy peril, and is worked out in many thrilling incidents in which patriotism plays a great part. The play is a very old one, but interest in it is revived during these stirring war times’ (Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser, 20 February 1915). ‘“Three Little Britons,” produced at the Grand Junction Theatre, is a drama in which martial and sporting matters predominate. The proceedings are enlivened with choruses of up-to-date songs, and some good fooling by James C. Wilton. Arthur Elwyn and Miss Mamie Holland in the principal roles play well’ (Manchester Evening News, 23 February 1915). ‘“Three Little Britons,” the play produced at the Junction Theatre last night, is virile drama, with the military flavour which is always fashionable, but particularly so to-day. It is capably played by a company including Messrs.. Edmund Sydney and Barry Charles, and the Misses Mamie Holland and Gertie Gascoyne’ (Manchester Daily Citizen, 23 February 1915).
