29 Mar 1915 The Coward Professional
Read Narrative
‘One of the best sketches owing its origin to the war is “Naturalised?” as presented by Horace Hunter and his company. The play possesses the quality of probability and is acted in a way that renders convincing the not easily managed intricacies of detection and disguise. It is the work of Mr. Horace Hunter, who himself plays the leading part with strength. Our old familiar friend, the German spy, is an important figure in the playlet, but is given unusual reality of appearance and character by Mr. Henry Latimer, whose performance is also noteworthy’. East End News and London Shipping Chronicle, 30 March 1915 - no doubt quoting a 'puff' provided by Horace Hunter's company since it is almost identical to a piece in the Hull Daily Mail, 5 February 1915.
