Two of the features of the 1918 Bijou Theatre season were a burlesque on banking methods and a procession of infants-in-arms. The war theme was also carried into the musical programme with one of the songs, 'By the Side of the Aegean Sea' (sung by Carlton Chase), having been written especially in memoriam for Australian soldiers who fell at Gallipoli.
