In October, 1922, The Nine o'Clock Revue was put on at the Little Theatre. It ran for a year, and was generally admitted to be one of the gayest and wittiest Little revues' ever produced. Morris Harvey and Beatrice Lillie played in it, and for once these two accomplished artists had really good material on which to work. The Nine o'Clock Revue has now been revived before the microphone; a purpose for which, as Morris Harvey points out in his article on page 63, it is particularly suited. People who remember the show at the Little Theatre will be glad to hear that tonight's revival will include 'The Square Triangle' (the sketch introducing the spoof French scene), 'The Double-Bass Player,' 'Proverbs' and 'Budding Stars,' and that the production is in the hands of Morris Harvey himself.
