Read Narrative
‘An important feature of the performance at the New Empire this week has been the fine sketches that have been produced by Missie [sic – Miss Cissie] Langley and Co., whose engagement has been a costly one. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Miss Langley, who took the leading role, presented “Nurse and Martyr,” which has been pronounced to be one of the finest sketches ever produced. In her admirable efforts, Miss Langley has been much applauded, her playlette being carried out to considerable effect. The other members of the company, too, have discharged the various titles allotted them, in a most commendable manner. Commencing last Thursday evening, Miss Langley and her well-known Company presented another of her sketches, entitled “For King and Country,” a military sketch portraying an interesting incident of the present war. On both occasions the accompanying scenery was most effective’. Bury Free Press, Saturday 14 October 1916.
