| 7 Jul 1919 | Jolly Times | Professional |
Read Narrative
The Stage, 3 July 1919, listed Jolly Times as On Tour from 7 July at the E., Hackney. ‘Jolly Times occupies most of the current programme at Hackney, and meets with warm approval. Jos. Alexandre is the principal merrymaker, and acquits himself nobly with the able assistance of Joseph Victor, whose lighter method is none the less effective. Madge Merle’s piquant American style and unusually deep voice mark her out for distinction. Peter McSweeney sings well as Owen, whose sweetheart, Julia, is played with spirit by Florence Williams. Dorothy Vernon gets a deal of quaint comic business out of Muriel, and Chas. Lind Vivian is well cast as the Colonel’. The Stage, 10 July 1919.
