“JOURNEY’S END” “Though a play of the War, has nothing of the horror or bitterness of war. Moreover, it contains a genuine comedy that .brings countless laughs.” Sir John Monash’s Magnificent Tribute and Message ot Australians' after he had seen “Journey’s End.” HAVE YOU SEEN THE PLAY “JOURNEY’S END”? IF NOT, DO NOT FAIL TO DO SO If you were a soldier on the Western Front it will vividly remind you of your war experineces, and will re-awaken many memories. If you were not, it will give you a truer picture of life in the front line, and of the tragedy, pathos, and humour of war, than anything else that you have read or heard. In spite of its intense realism there is nothing in the play that is harrowing or revolting. It is, at one and the same time, an entertainment and a sermon. There are many laughs and plenty of appeals to your tender emotions. A drama without a plot, without a love story, and without a hero or villain, it yet grips your attention and holds your interest throughout every moment until the final curtain. > —John Monash.

For the time being you are with them, in the dugout, you have ceased to be in the theatre, or, rather, the theatre has become one with the dugout.” “JOURNEY’S END” “For all his hard drinking to steady shattered nerves, Captain Stanhope is a resolute leader of men, sportsmanlike, unassuming. For all his amusing obtuseness, the corpulent Lieutenant Trotter, is responsible and good-natured under trying ordeals. Lieutenant Raleigh becomes a hero by instinctively following the rules of fairplay he has learned on the playfields of England. . And Lieutenant Osborne is a schoolboy enriched, sweetened, and. exalted by maturity, gentle and wise—a rare figure in the byways of universal life.” “JOURNEY’S END” “All over the world British men and women, and children, too., will esteem it a privilege to see this great and realistic play.” “JOURNEY’S END” The Company includes Reginald Tate, Ambrose Flower, Vincent Lawson, Alan Lawrence, Reginald Dane, with whom will be associated Lewis Shaw (recently here in “Young Woodley”), and supported by Harvey Adams, Reginald Wykeham, John Fernside, George Jennings, Redge Carey.
