Palace Theatre, Bradford

The Stage Thursday, November 18, 1915: at the Palace, Bradford, ‘A capital recruiting sketch, One o’ Kitchener’s, is presented by Shirley and Ransome’.

‘A short play which arouses the patriotic fervour of the audience is staged by Gilbert Heron (late Royal Marine Artillery) and Jessie Danvers, who, supported by a strong cast, appear in “The Slacker.” It is worthy of note that the male members engaged in the production are all under or over military age. The scene is supposed to be laid in a drawing-room in a villa, and shows how a man is reluctant to join the Forces until one night his patriotism is awakened when he learns of a visit of the enemy’s aircraft’. Bradford Daily Telegraph, 28 December 1915.

Performed by Gilbert Heron and company.

At the Palace Theatre Fred. Clayden is presenting "Mystery Gun" with Miss Erica O'Foyle as the heroine of an interesting illusion. (Leeds Mercury - Tuesday 18 July 1916)
