A review of the Bridge Theatre season in the 25 April 1917 issue of Australian Variety records:
'Run for the Doctor, a new musical revue, was presented and made a big impression on the large audience. The dressings were very attractive, artistic and neat, while the musical numbers were catchy and winners to such an extent that the singers were called back many times, having to respond to many encores ... Arthur Morley was a tower of strength for the combination, his topical numbers going big. His offering "The Soldier's Story," introducing his little daughter, was a winner. The little mite, of four years of age, went through a drill which would astound a soldier, and in her own way sang a song which brought down the house' (n. pag.).
