Details |
Sketches by Tony Sarg showing performers at various London shows singing patriotic songs shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. There is Mr Jamison Doggs singing Soldiers of the King at the Coliseum (conducted by the composer Leslie Stuart), Mr C Hayden Coffin singing Tommy Atkins, Leslie Stiles singing Stick to your Guns at the Empire and Leo Stormont reciting patriotic poetry and prose at the Palladium. 'It is satisfactory that there is an absence of "Jingoism" in the patriotic songs, evoked by the war, which now find place on the programmes of the principal Halls,' comments The Sketch.
