AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Described in contemporary reviews as a 'risque farce about ultra-urban people'.

The reviewer criticised the 'worn plot', saying that it 'exploiting every known device and situation of the lighter stage without adding in any way to them', but said that the script 'offered a good deal of verbal wit'.
