[The Audacious War by Clarence W. Barron]@TWC D-Link bookThe Audacious War CHAPTER X 5/14
I suspect that the English military authorities do not object.
It encourages enlistment. When enlistment gets dull, the Germans stimulate it with some shells thrown on the English coast. There are only two or three new plays in London this season; the great war-plays and dramas, and indeed the literature of this war, have yet to be written.
Nearly all the new presentations for which London is so famous were set back on the shelf when the business of war started. Most of the theater programs are revivals of old favorites, and a few of the theaters are still closed.
All that are open begin promptly at 8 P.M.
Five hundred English actors have gone to the front. You have to make the circuit to find the heart of England at war, but you find it--horse, foot, and dragoons; men, women, and children.
