Aquarium Theatre, Yarmouth

Performed for the week by Mr Wm. Fraser-Brunner (Actor), Mr Douglas Cecil (Actor), and Helena Millais (Actress) and described as 'the biggest production yet essayed by Miss [Helena] Millais'. The officers and men who witnessed it 'were delighted with it' and the newspaper notes that 'We hope to welcome it in London shortly'. (Era, 21 October 1914). 'The playlet is well written, and intensely patriotic in sentiment. It should prove a big success'. 'Includes a capital American detective episode' and a variety programme is 'well carried out' (Yarmouth Independent, 17 October 1914)

Previewed in the Yarmouth Independent, 13 September 1919. ‘The description extravaganza, aptly applies to “Tails Up,” the entertainment at the Aquarium Theatre this week. The various episodes are of a most diverting character, especially the Curious Tale of the Intellectual Sergeant-Major and the Strange Tale of the Brigadier-General who was never seen. Many tuneful songs are sung and the choruses and incidental dances are capitally rendered. Miss Hilda Simpson and Mr. Jack Leopold join in many amusing duets, “The Old Bran Pie” being specially pleasing, and the dance indulged in by the two artistes to its merry music, is clever and original and wins much applause. Miss Ellaline Thorne and Mr. Leslie Ward score in the duet, “Wild Thyme,” and in solos. Mr. Edwin Adeler plays various roles with much success and the many scenes are full of fun and frolic. It is light, bright entertainment to be much enjoyed by those in holiday mood’ (Yarmouth Independent, 20 September 1919).
