A rare chance to see the almost forgotten Leslie Henson and why he was such a popular star of his day. He is funny throughout this typically frothy comedy of the time which also spotlights the kind of entertainment to be seen in contemporary West End nightclubs. Robertson Hare and the supremely bombastic Alfred Drayton are on good form too, though the latter has little to do, while Frances Day is effervescent and fun. In actuality England didn't go in much for the likes of Purity Leagues, which reflects the story's origins from a German play.
