Empire Palace, Edinburgh

The Scotsman, 19 November 1914, advertised at the Empire Palace Theatre a bill that included 'Horace Hunter & Co., New Sketch, "The Coward"'. Also: ‘A cleverly-written sketch entitled “The Coward” is presented with much success by Horace Hunter. & Co. The story deals with the vindication of a misjudged son in the bringing to book of a German spy in influential quarters. The patriotic feature of the production was well brought out. In the piece were Miss Lily Hammersley, Mr- Horace Hunter, and Mr Henry Latimer’ (The Scotsman, 17 November 1914). ‘Horace Hunter has a capital new sketch in The Coward, which deals the unmasking of a German spy. He is well supported by Lily Hammersley, Harry Hardy, and Henry Latimer’ (The Stage, 19 November 1914).
