Empire Theatre, Kingston

Review in 'Surrey Advertiser' Wednesday 30 December 1914 " "On Secret Service" is the title of a topical and sensational dramatic sketch by A.S. Hardy in which the leading part of Jean Jacques Bonheur, chief of the International Service, is cleverly filled by the well-known actor, Mr. Henri de Vries. He is supported by a numerous company of capable artists, and the working out of the admirably constructed plot in an episode such as might have occurred after the declaration of the great war is followed with keen interest by the audiences. The play throws some light on the ramifications of the Germany spy system in this country."

Performed by Miss Beaumont Collins.

‘Denton Spencer’s comedy-dramatic playlet, “Settling Day,” which was successfully produced at the Empire, Edmonton, last June, is back again in London this week at the Empire, Kingston. “Settling Day” is an up-to-date propaganda playlet, dealing with a vital after the war problem’.
