Read Narrative
'There is to be topical fare at the Royal Osborne, and audiences will find plenty to thrill them in "When There Was War." It is an enthralling piece, and will be performed by a fine company’ (Daily Citizen (Manchester), 15 March 1915). The Manchester Evening News, 15 March 1915, advertised at the Royal Osborne Theatre ‘When There Was War! New Production. Patriotic Success’. ‘[A] military drama ... with the title "When there was War" provides good entertainment at the Osborne. The story is based upon incidents in the present campaign, and the scenes are chiefly laid in London, Harwich, and Namur. The fact that the company is one got together by Hilda Beverley is a sufficient guarantee as to the ability of the artists’ (Manchester Evening News, 16 March 1915).
