Empire, Stroud

Percy Morton-Wright and Company appear in For the Flag We Love. Dorothy Gould comedienne; J.H.Laney, comedian; and Gertie Larner, aged eleven years, a very promising local vocalist also receive hearty recognition. (The Stage - Thursday 21 January 1915)

‘Mr. Rasbach has scored this week by booking Mr. Magini’s rollicking revue, “Stop Press" [at the Empire]. It is probably one of the best of its kind ever seen in Stroud. There is not a dull moment from beginning to end, and Monday night’s audiences thoroughly entered into and fully enjoyed the fun. In the first scene Tom Major scores in his songs “When I leave this world behind “ and “Percy, of Petticoat-lane,” while Kitty Major introduces herself as “Creeping Virginia,” and sings “Who’s She?” in a way that provokes hilarious laughter. Her jokes are all very cute and good. There are other principals, all of whom do their respective parts exceedingly well; and the tip to all is on no account to miss the revue at Stroud Empire this week. The London Beauty Chorus gets through a lot of work, as also does the Verdun Troupe of Dancers’. Gloucestershire Echo, 23 January 1917.
