The Palace, Gloucester

Walter Melville's enormously successful play "The Female Hun" direct from the Lyceum Theatre, London, will be staged in all its entirety on Monday next at the Palace, Gloucester, full of exciting scenes and incidents, including a race between high-speed aeroplanes, a delirious struggle inside a submarine and an escape from a German prison camp, should prove a welcome and thrilling evening's entertainment to the patrons of the Palace. The play is a typical series of effective cartoons concerning a British General who made the mistake of marrying a German girl whom he catches eaves-dropping behind a curtain while he is planning a new British attack, and forthwith he makes her pay the penalty and after many exciting scenes her accomplices are brought to book and thus brings the play to a happy termination. It will be presented once nightly at 7.30 with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30. (Gloucestershire Chronicle - Saturday 10 April 1920)
