A farce by Vernon Sylvaine.

'If Boxing Day finds you a wee bit liverish after the Christmas festivities - and even if it does not,' says Brian Rix, 'I can promise you that Will Any Gentleman? will prove the ideal tonic which can be taken in large doses by any gentleman or, for that matter, any member of the family'.

(Brian Rix, Leo Franklyn, Basil Lord, Larry Noble, Peter Mercier, Stuart Sherwin, Helen Jessop, Sheila Mercier, Hazel Douglas, and Jeanne Cook are in "One for the Pot", the current farce at the Whitehall Theatre, London; Terry Scott is in "Babes in the Wood" at the New Theatre, Oxford)
