"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 153, July 18, 1917"


The Demon King will put a few heavies across in the Grotto Scene.
The Eight Aerial Girlies (under the direction of the O.C. Flying Corps
de Ballet) will make a personal reconnaissance of the front rows of
the Stalls in "The Fairies' Bower" Scene.
The eyes of the Chorus will be worn in the "alert" position during
performances.
10. _Principals_.
Artistes will submit for approval not later than the 10th December the
details of their songs and dances. Comedians will also submit their
"gags" and comic scenes for blue-pencilling. This is merely a matter
of form and the strictest secrecy as to their real intentions will be
preserved in order that the principle of "springing it on one another"
should be maintained.
If twenty people are found in the bar during a comedian's turn he is
liable to summary dismissal.
Cross-talk Machine Fun Fire will be under direction of O.C. Gags.
11. _Music_.
Choruses and incidentals will be original. That is to say, they will
be taken from last year's MSS. and the crotchets moved up one space
and the quavers down one space.
12. _Rehearsals_.
A hot meal will be served after midnight rehearsals and taxis will be
provided for those who care to pay for them. "Q" will arrange.
13. _The Audience_.
Hostile retaliation is not anticipated, but arrangements will be made
to deal summarily with any counterattack.
