The Era, 8 August 1917 carried advertisements for shows at the Ilford Hippodrome and the Olympia, Shoreditch in the week commencing 13 August, both including Harry Thurston in Capt. Bruce Bairnsfather’s ‘The Johnson ‘Ole’. ‘Bruce Bairnsfather’s distinctly amusing episode, “The Johnson ‘Ole,” is causing merriment among excellent audiences at the Olympia, Shoreditch, this week. Bristling with good and lively humour, and affording opportunity for effective character acting, this piece certainly holds its own as one of the best of the numerous sketches that have the lighter side of life in the trenches as their basis. Of the clever performance of Harry Thurston as Old Bill, the Walrus, it is sufficient to say that the popular comedian is seen at his best, and that laughter is much in evidence during the whole time he occupies the stage’. The Stage, 16 August 1917.

Performed by Margot Delan (Fraizette de Meryon), Frederick Stevens (Rowland Ordeil), Charles Leslie (Vedal/Frampton), H Bryant (Karl Schonheim): ''The Silent Service' which emanates from John G Brandon's fertile pen, is by no means faultless, and it cannot be said that the story comes entirely within the limits of probability. Much of the dialogue is at present rendered with too 'foreign' an accent, and is delivered at such speed that it is not always easy to follow.' (The Stage, 20 September 1917). On the same bill were: Lorna and Toots Pounds (impersonators), George Mozart, Liane D'Eve (chic entertainment), Edie Veno (singer), Harry Freeman (comedian), Zella Vondi and company (dainty musical act), Minnie Muir (comedienne)
