Revusical.

'Propstick', writing in the Theatre magazine, records that 'George Wallace is a comedian with a delightfully quiet style. He gets his laughs without any forcing... Max Martin dances as neatly as ever, and makes a capital policeman in A Fireman's Troubles, a fairly entertaining comedy that forms the second part. Chief honours are annexed by Wallace in a clever Johnny study and by Billy Cass and Joe Rox as two impossible firemen. Emphatically the artistic feature of the production is Lulu Hart's beautiful dancing' (April 1919, p.28).
