Antique Farce by BRUCE STEWART with ' I used to enjoy what they called the antique farce. It was the only sort of theatre we ever got to see in army days. On the march.... Always the same thing, mind you. Same characters. But the jokes were different. That was the interesting part. The actors put in different jokes according to what was funny at the time. Made them up. Didn't mind what they said sometimes, either. Some of their sideswipes really hit bone, I remember '.
