Commentaires : This opened at the Gardner Centre, Brighton and was devised as a small-scale show, inspired by Warner Brown’s rejected play “Flickers”. The opening night was attended by Lillian Gish herself and attracted enormous publicity. The critics felt the show hovered uneasily between parody and reverential salute, and in spite of a lot of praise for Heneker’s score, the show came off rather quickly.
