Globe Theatre, Plymouth

Review from The Western Morning News Wednesday 20 November 1918 'A variety performance given in the Globe (Royal Marine) Theatre, Plymouth, yesterday afternoon, in aid of Lord Roberts' Memorial Fund for disabled soldiers and sailors was excellently patronised...Part II of the programme was an excellent presentation of the powerful little war drama, "The Porter of Hell" by Lt-Col. W.P. Drury, R.M.L.I. who in the prologue stated the motif in the following poignant sentences:- " 'Lest we forget' amid the ringing of the peace bells the still unpunished crimes of the barbarous Hun, we will recall for a few brief moments how he lately made war in Belgium. And, seeing, let us remember that tragedies such as this might well have happened in a thousand British homes, but for the silent, sleepless vigilance of the British Navy.' The cast consisted of Lt. C.A. Power, R.M.L.I. (Eugene), Mrs. Arthur Picken (his mother), Mrs. W.P. Drury (Gabrielle), Lt. E.J. Watts, R.M. ("The Porter of Hell"), and they did ample justice to the tense and poignant character of the drama. The incidental music, by Mr. P.S.G. O'Donnell, R.M.L.I., which admirably supports and preserves the atmosphere of fearful expectancy and numbing tragedy, was played by a portion of the R.M. band, under the baton of the composer. The performance from every point of view was profoundly impressive.'
